What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

Not sure I'm in love with the FilterFX. Its basically an LFO controlled Mu-Tron III, so it sounds great, but I'm not sure I'm a fan of LFO driven filters beyond phasers (same reason I'm not a huge fan of the Chaos Machine). I'll have to play with it a bit more tomorrow when I can turn up the amp

I mostly use it in expression mode and consider the lfo bonus fun times. I also like sweeping the expression pedal with the lfo at a shallow depth.

My PedalPCB package with my Black Friday haul arrives tomorrow, so I've started roughing out ideas for my Waddle Box build.

I know it is borderline awful and my daughter has already given me a lengthy scolding about how I'm committing "one of the biggest no-no's of graphic design composition because you're breaking all the rules of text hierarchy." But I don't know - it just kind of makes me giggle.

I agree on modifying the top text, if you can figure out a shorter word for sensitivity that works for you, and probably a different font, and maybe try bringing the text in front of the picture a little bit and see how that feels?

I quite like my designs, and often end up with something that works fine, but I still have no idea whether an idea works or not before I try it. I'm not trying to become a graphic designer though.

Speaking of which, new enclosures (plus rest of the Tayda order too, obviously) got here so I think I'll finish up at least one pedal today, maybe even two since I have some of them pretty far along. The Hydra (middle) is probably a bit too saturated, although it's tricky taking pictures in bad light too (I don't have very good options for good light here). I could take pictures when the sun is shining, but that's probably guaranteed for the next time in like February or something.

Wow, those enclosures are amazing!

Thanks for the advice about the font as well. I definitely plan to change “Sensitivity“ to something shorter to get rid of the “lopsided “feel of the text – I thought @Big Monk ’s suggestion of “Touch” was perfect. i’ll look at some other fonts as well but that’s where I’m really struggling – I get that this one is a bit on the ugly side in the context of the overall design, but, for whatever reason, it tickled me to have the “Disney“ look. The larger font for “Quackpot” is basically the Mickey Mouse font but I think that that connection will be lost a bit if I choose another font that is too far afield of what I currently have. but there are thousands of fonts out there so I owe it to myself to at least audition a few to see if something will work better in the overall context.

The word “range” actually looks okay to me in Disney. Sensitivity was the rough one. Range and Touch sounds like a slick solution.
