I want to love it but every time I see that knob/switch placement I get upset.

If I bought a spaceman pedal I'd want it in a clear enclosure so i could see the pcb all the time. Super sexy.

I really like the stark look of Fairfield Circuitry stuff. There are lots of pedals with skulls and monsters on them, which I would be too embarrassed to rock. Montreal Assembly is good that way too - just plain boxes, usually.

For graphic design however, I really do think Electro-Harmonix has usually done a great job, since like forever. They have their fair share of fugly designs, but they're mostly good, classic looking, utilitarian, and they've carried the same aesthetic over their entire history, pretty much.

Good one. But I'd need a piece of electrical tape or something...my hangup being the word "boutique" embossed anywhere on the pedal. That's a real cringe move.
As much as I adore Effectrode and my PM-2C, PC-2A pedals...I want the words "audiophile pedals" to be stricken from the logo. It's pretentious. But I just deal w/it, since I definitely need the phaser.

I'm going to say all pedals. LOL. I don't technically need any of them, but I want all of them. Except for ring mods. You guys can have those butt sounding fuckers. lol

I think this actually goes for every sweet looking delay. And reverb. I really want an RM-1n but I don't need it at all. It looks so tasty
