Makin' GUI's

Cool! Personally I think its a good start, now you need to age it a bit - you know, put 5 years of gigs , rehearsal, and general road wear on it . (maybe an hour of work per year? )

The angle of the knobs looks a bit off (aiming up too much?). Oh yeah, you might need some input jacks

+1 on GUIs being fun, I used to work for a software company and making GUIs was one of the most fun (and yet time consuming) aspects of the job.

Good stuff!

Hahaha, when I saw your avatar I laughed, then I saw 'y'all are brutalizin' me' and remembered it's Ronnie Dobbs lol, then I saw you're in Austin, so am I hehe.

Those knobs have acrylic isnets. kind of like this:

So you are seeing the top of them. I chose black but I can see how it makes the perspective weird and kind of skews it. Thanks for the comment.

sounds like we are on the same page. you aren't my alternate personality are you? I guess it wouldn't be really alternate then...nm.

Anyway....now that I see those knobs I understand. They remind me of buttons on fancy cowboys shirts I'm from the northeast so Texas is still strange and fantastic to me.

let me know if you ever need to borrow the mr show boxed set.

Looks slick. The only problem with the inlayed knobs is you can't see what the setting is.

+1, that'd drive me bonkers!

at a glance you need to see all settings. Chicken head knobs are great for that.


PS. Since this looks so good, do you think you could take a stab at some web design?
Something like this: http://epicsounds.ca/designidea.jpg (but bigger) integrated with this theme: http://epicsounds.ca/

Actually, you totally should keep it that may, and make the knobs like on my Rectifier

I have the first one as the volume knob on my guitar

The only problem with having angled dial images is that when you rotate them the whole thing will move, which gives the impression your knob is wonky ('scuse the double entendre) and off-centre, as if the side profile was this:

  ____
 /   /
/   /
--||

The specular highlights on the inlay will look wrong too, as it will look like the light source has rotated differently for each dial (especially on the black) - the Aqua, Brown and White and Black Pearl ones you could get away with.

use 3d modeller and they wont look like they are skewed

I see what you mean, but it's all too easy to change knobs out, duder. Whatever the 'customer' wants, is what I'm putting forth here.

Include plastic knobs for free - charge $5 a to recto knobs (per knob)! It seems that you'd have at least one customer...

I'm not a marketing genius, I just play one on the internet.
