Title: Pedal Graphics (please help indecisive me decide)!
Post by: raulduke on January 16, 2017, 05:23:15 PM
I'm working on a delay at the moment (FV-1 Based) and would really appreciate you guys input on the graphics.

Which of the 6 design variants attached do you guys like best (ok if you hate them all too  ;)).

I kinda like em all, but am leaning towards 3A.


p.s. Circuit is nothing special. Pretty much Drolo's MDD Fv-1 circuit in different format and a few mod's/changes.

I'm looking at incorporating an initial JFET buffer and EP3 based gain stage (rather than Opamp) to add a little spice/character.

I may upload the project when/if I get it completed.

I dig the silver knobs/cream color on 2a.

3A for me. Only thing I would change is possibly losing the white dividing line. I like the line when it's in black, but with the white it felt a bit like the printer jumped a line if that makes sense.

Here is an interesting option. I tried inverting the colors, and here are the options that came out:

They all look very vintage echo machine-like in this color scheme.

3b grabbed me most

I like the 3 options. I actually think that the large knobs from 3b and the small knobs from 3a is what I would choose.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

I like your idea Jacob; I might go with that.

Just need to build it now!

Round black knobs on the top row of 3b instead of the knurled ones.

3b has the best contrast and separation to me between the text, background, and enclosure, but of course it's not the real world.

3b with black switch like 3a

I think 3b is the way to go as well. Might switch the brown to the one from 2b though.

Thanks guys it's looking pretty unanimous.

It's really interesting seeing the comments and feedback.

This isn't a commercial pedal or anything by the way. Just something I'm building for myself.

Luckily that colour scheme will also be easiest to match on a real pedal too!

Thanks again,

Steve.

If there was a 4a which was 3a with white lettering I'd pick that. Good luck looks great!

I'll second this.  Great recommendation.

Can't go wrong with anything in the 3 column. Really sweet.

Oh... I get it. This is one of those IQ tests where you have to try and identify the difference between images.
