Yeah, I like @randycrouton’s control layout. For me, the icons are more of an abstract idea, so I don’t mind them the way they are. I think if the controls were organized as above, I could probably stop looking at the manual. Especially if they were laid out in a way that felt intuitive. Maybe:
Page 1:
Compression Effect Mix
LP Filter HP Filter
Page 2:
W&F Depth W&F Mix
Wow Freq Flutter Freq
Page 3:
Dropout Depth Crinkle
Dropout Freq Tape Noise
Page 4:
Reverb Pre/Post Reverb Mix
Touch 1 Touch 2
This way, top right is always some kind of “mix” type control, top left is a “depth” type control, and the bottom two are generally frequency-related.
