Eiger Mönch Visual Identity

When it came time to design the Twin Peaks Eiger-Mönch, I wanted the visual identity to speak the same language as the sound: clear, spacious, thoughtful, and unmistakably Swiss.

As with every pedal I design at RhPf Electronics, I began by listening. Thomas played me the key settings that define what makes this delay special — the contrast between the two delay lines, the interplay of warmth and brightness, the way each echo shifted the mood without overwhelming it.

Right away, we both had the same instinct:
“It should feel like Toblerone.”

The triangular shape, iconic and instantly recognizable, became a playful yet powerful reference point. It’s not just chocolate — it’s a symbol of Swiss precision, quality, and identity. That became the backbone of the Eiger-Mönch Visual Identity.

A Minimalist Tribute to the Alps

I created a vertical minimalist illustration of the Eiger and Mönch — the very mountain peaks that inspired the pedal’s name. Their silhouettes are snow-capped and drawn with clean white outlines, forming a sharp, elegant horizon line. The background is a soft pastel sky blue, echoing a crisp alpine atmosphere on a clear day.

This color choice wasn’t arbitrary. It evokes serenity, stillness, and that sense of elevation — the kind of feeling you get standing at the base of a mountain looking up.

We chose light cream knobs and typography — almost white, but with a gentle warmth — to complement the blue in a way that feels natural and timeless. And in the center, the bright blue LED was deliberately chosen to mimic the glary brilliance of sunlight reflecting off snow. It’s a small detail that carries a big piece of the Alpine vibe.

This is the essence of the Eiger-Mönch Visual Identity: clean, elegant, grounded in place — but full of depth if you know where to look.

Simple on the Surface, Complex Beneath

Though the control layout is simple and intuitive, the circuit underneath is quite complex — just like the Alps themselves. Shaped over millennia by pressure, collision, and movement, mountain ranges are the result of time. And what is delay, if not the manipulation of time?

I wanted the minimalist design to reflect that idea: Simplicity above. Complexity below.
It’s a pedal that looks easy to approach — because it is — but has layers to explore, just like a well-worn hiking trail that keeps surprising you the higher you climb.

That’s the balance I aimed for with the Eiger-Mönch Visual Identity — to visually honor both the clarity of the user experience and the richness of what’s happening inside.

More Than a Graphic

To me, this design isn’t just about lines and color. It’s about expressing what this pedal feels like. The openness of the sky. The sharp cut of a peak. The calmness in motion. The quiet power of echo.

Twin Peaks Eiger-Mönch isn’t just a delay — it’s a conversation between space and time.
And I hope the Eiger-Mönch Visual Identity helps tell that story before a single note is played.
