Behind the Scenes – Regista – Part 4: The Graphic Design
We Just Can’t Ever Have Just a Simple Conversation Most of our conversations do not start with a brief. Thomas cannot seem to answer a simple question without first taking you on a twenty-minute journey through his entire emotional history with the subject, and this one was no different. It began with his first encounter… Read more

Behind the Scenes – Mosphoros – Part 4: The Graphic Design
Finding the Shape of a New Myth When I first heard the name Mosphoros, I immediately understood that the character behind it was not just another mascot. The name plays on “the bringer of MOSFET,” and it carries the weight of a newly invented figure in a fictional mythology. My goal became clear from the… Read more

Behind the Scenes – Mosrawr – Part 4: The Graphic Design
Candyland Chaos For the Mosrawr artwork, I wanted to capture that perfect contradiction: something wild and dangerous wrapped in something sweet and bright. The circuit itself sounds strong, distorted, and biting, so the visual had to mirror that raw intensity but also tease it with humor and color. The star of the design is my… Read more

Behind the Scenes – Shodhana – Part 4: The Graphic Design
A Visual Expression of Balance The moment we settled on the name Shodhana, the visual direction started forming in my mind. Thomas explained that the circuit was all about balance, between clean and driven, transparent and colored, and the word itself, Shodhana, felt like a perfect fit. I wanted the artwork to reflect that same… Read more

Behind the Scenes – Mostard – Part 4: The Graphic Design
The Taste of an Idea Mostard started as a joke, a riff on “mustard,” of course, but also a spicy nod to something hotter, brighter, and unapologetically bold. It had to be yellow. It had to be loud. And above all, it had to feel like something that could only exist in a world where… Read more

Behind The Scenes – Tri-Hormonic Phalanx – Part 4: The Graphic Design
A graphic identity built on meaning From the beginning, the Tri-Hormonic Phalanx was more than just a tone-shaping tool. It was a personal project with a story tied to a rare condition, a reflection of balance and complexity both in sound and in life. So when it came time to develop the visual identity, the… Read more

Behind the Scenes – Basilisk – Part 4: The Graphic Design
Some designs take time to form. Others are clear from the beginning.When we decided to name this pedal Basilisk, I knew exactly what it had to look like. Basel’s Creature, Reimagined The basilisk isn’t just a mythical animal, it’s our mythical animal. You’ll find it all over Basel: on bridge railings, water fountains, plaques, and… Read more

Behind the Scenes – Capharnaüm – Part 4: The Graphic Design
Designing a Post-Apocalyptic Riot When Thomas told me the story behind the circuit, that it was inspired by KAHFA’s track “Capharnaüm”, I immediately knew the design needed to feel violent, ancient, and strangely beautiful. Not just noise, but something meaningful within the chaos. We kept coming back to this shared image: a post-apocalyptic riot. That’s… Read more

Behind The Scenes – Moschops – Part 4: The Graphic Design
A Creature in Motion Designing the visual identity for Moschops was a visceral experience. This pedal doesn’t just modulate, it growls, pulses, and breathes with intensity. I knew from the start that the graphic design needed to echo that raw, living energy. It couldn’t be passive or ornamental. It had to move, even while standing… Read more

Behind The Scenes – Mo(s)ghoul – Part 4: The Graphic Design
A Perfect Name Sometimes the pieces fall into place long after you think you’re done. Before we ever settled on its name, the Mo(s)ghoul pedal was already built, tested, and snarling beautifully. The name came later, Mo(s)ghoul, a mix of “MOSFET,” “mogul,” and “ghoul.” At first, it was just a fun contrast that sounded right… Read more
