I wish there was a small and affordable guitar pedal that had shimmer and bitcrush, and only that, with two potmeters and a passthrough button. I think the combination of those two effects is underused. Could it be done only with analog circuits?

By it's very definition, _bit_crush is going to be digital. Shimmer is a variation on reverb and might be possible using analog only but would be an interesting circuit.

I agree that "bits" needs to be digital, but the "bitcrusher effect" can apparently also be implemented in an analog way:
