I know these guitar pedal plugins can easily be made with the stock mod-sdk but again wanted a non pixel based alignment. These are all just rough sketches - more or less.
I think they all have their pros and cons.
traditional: looks the most inspiring. Put a more touchscreen friendly switch on it that also acts as the led.
I love the first one because it gives you the feel of the Klon without being a clone of it. I know the skeuomorphic debate rages on, but honestly the first one just lets you glance at a pedalboard and know what you’re in for.
+1 for the first and the second version. If you decide to go with the first one, using a darker yellow and brownish knobs to make it look closer to the original, would be good. In any case, great initiative.
I like the knobs, art, label and buttons of this one
And I like the form factor of this one because it’s more similar to the layout of the original pedal (3 knobs in a line) and because it’s a bit more compact
I would like to see that form factor with style from the first one I think
I agree maybe a more goldish kind of colour would be appropriate
I’m especially loving the big button/indicator! I often find myself having a hard time seeing the little LEDs on other plugins when zoomed out on a pedalboard. And to make things worse, there are some plugins like Gaffa where the off LED is red when off and brighter/whiter when on and it constantly confuses me! Your button/indicator combo is so easy to see AND click!
Nice work! looking at the at next to the StarChild, I feel like you could reduce the scale of the whole thing a bit. The knobs look a fair bit bigger
I agree. I was thinking footswitches with LED rings would be cool for GUIs. That way it makes it a lot clearer but it still somewhat represents a footswitch. Like this type
EDIT: I think another reason that led me to thinking this kind of footswitch might be nice is because the rectangular button may not be as obviouse that it’s a button
You could make the footswitch look nicer it’s just a mockup. I figure with the LED indicator arround it that can also be part of the clickable area so it’s a bit bigger for touch screens, a bit clearer to see than the old footswitch and separate LED, but also still looks like a footswitch like those on the HX Stomp etc
They are. i’ll have to check if I can still turn the knobs with a touchscreen when zoomed out.
right.That might be confusing - maybe more in the style of a boss pedal just to keep the larger footprint. for touchscreen. It might even be easier to treat the whole row as footswitch but keep the image as a footswitch.
Or maybe “tone is in the centaur”?
