HZD Boost - done, in production
VSW Swell - done, in production
TLM Loop-mixer - done, in production (but undergoing re-design to make building it easier)
SVP Phase - "Seventies Vintage Phase". Initial design and breadboarding complete. Design will be finalised by maybe April.
MMD Distortion - "Massive modern distortion" - a distortion with a BIG sound. At the concept stage. Breadboarding will be done "soon".
VSD Distortion - "Vintage smooth distortion". At the concept stage. Breadboarding will be done "soon".
VCO Comp - Vintage compressor... maybe the next design.
VDL Delay - Vintage (analogue) delay... maybe the next design.
You get the delay up and running and I'll be first in line!  |

I quickly put in some rough tick marks... not sure I like it overly. Can't think of any other way of marking where you are?
THanks for the other kind comments!

| IMHO it definitely looked better without those marks. The question is whether you really need any markers. If you look at the two or three-knob boss pedals, they only mark the low, middle and high position of the knob. I would personally do only with the starting and finishing position mark. Maybe something like boss marking dots would be more decent-looking, although probably difficult to fit in the design. |

| I mean unless your really drunk or high you wouldn't need those indicators would you? I think without the markers looks far better, i mean you must be able to tell where its pointing by looking at it right? |

I'm with Miky on this...start and end marks only, or better yet, I like the simplicity of no marks at all. After you spend a little time and get used to it you'll pretty much know where you're at(and the white marker on the knob helps in that too).
I say keep it simple. |

I'm with silvertone on this, keep it simple.
I'm not a fan of the marker ticks either, I wouldn't want my pedal
to look like that   |

IMO 
I think this was the best one, I like the box around the knobs and think this design looks the classiest. Personally, I don't like the look of having lines coming out of the knobs, It looks a bit messy. I think having your website name would be cool also, but would clutter up the front. How about the vertical face of the pedal, the one below your signiture?
Looking good though Laurie, might look into one of these later to replace to my Od-3 for *mild grit brakeup* sound I like |

Yep... with apologies to verivorax, I think this is best one 
The website will go on the back label. |

Hey Laurie, any chance of some 'dirtier' demos? I would like to see how it sounds boosting a clean amp further  |

I like the rounded box enclosing the tone knobs. A marker at min and max would be all I would put on there. I'm with Ollie concerning the lines. Dots would be better and a good homage to its Boss forefather.
While the SVP looks most interesting. The two dist pedals sound good as well. |

Yep. VSW Swell is still in the plain black box  Just waiting on the boards to come from the supplier. Shouldn't be more than about 2 weeks total wait on VSW pedals.
Sweet. Soon I will be a man of mystery...
Me too! Can't wait. |

| The HZD and a compressor in a dual pedal format would be pretty cool....a bit like analogmans bi-compressor pedal... |

No apologies needed.. but I think a mark for "FLAT" on the EQ knobs and for around unity on the level knob would be helpful/useful. just IMHO.
and yes, I'm drunk and high all the time and I like to see the tick-marks  |
