A very long time ago i had Dann from 4ms design a special hybrid effect for stereo for me... he's waiting for me to decide on a graphic design..
it's like a tremolo/panner & phaser with aux mod
Thing is, i haven't fallen in love with any graphic for it. i could post previous candidates.... one almost won me over.. but the rest don't move me.
wanna see them?
are there any designers here?
if not, i will probably just go for minimalist non-design.
ok, here's the layout:

Now, forgive the flood o'images, are what's been proposed so far...

One of the Mika's, definitely.
Is someone forcing you to always stay awake for too long?
You can tell us, they can't hurt us all!

Awwww. thanks for the hugzzzzzzz!
ok, yeh, Mika's original was my favorite too but the text doesn't work according to Dann.. so i jokingly sent in the color-inverse.. which he liked but i didnt. About Dann's design suggestions, i just felt like they're just inappropriate.
how hard can it be to make an appropriate design?
better question, what would Syd Barrett have for a design? ;)
Look at the first pic.. maybe unlabeled will be fine.
a bad design would just take away from the good vibes of this pedal.
ideas?

Wish I could help, I lost my photoshop program once I switched computers.

Beers for all! You're a hugable person, cosmo.
Maybe put the knob description on the knobs themselves? If you can find blank-top knobs and write small enough letters.
I had this idea of pimping my friend's designs just now, but remembered he gets paid for loaning out his designs.
Nice pedal it would be though, can't hurt to ask. I can ask him if you want me to.
