So it seems that most of the GUI issues have been fixed. I found my post from November:

White 2A has too much white space. I know the real LA-2A has the same issue but I'd love to have the gain and peak reduction knobs be larger than the meter selector. And I said this at the AES Show, White Channel and British Channel's shadows are too strong (VC-670 has the same shadow problem) and frequency numbers are too small. If the font size was equal to the word "Threshold" then that would be a good compromise.
The T-Racks logos being de-saturated look fine. I rarely look at the logos...just the control text needs to be easy to read otherwise I get very annoyed. By the way, nice touch on the tape animation on the "Echoflex" GUI!
Peter, please pass my comments along to your staff. For what it's worth I am a photography hobbyist and use an sRGB calibrated monitor.
These are minor problems...overall I am happy with this release and after demoing the new modules some more I will probably buy it. The Master Match presets are fantastic!
432's lettering is still small but the contrast is much better!
Now, the remaining issues are as follows:
Go to
Imgur: The magic of the Internet for a larger version. See the nice hardware contrast compared to your plugins? That should be the goal for the final GUI fixes.
The faded colors look vintage hipster or whatever but they don't jive well when trying to work. Dark gray background + light gray text = bad.
Light gray lettering + neutral tone = also bad. You can REALLY see the difference when the image is made black and white:

Black Channel and White Channel have small lettering too, even when you make the GUI bigger it's still a problem. I've circled the problems in red:

Imgur: The magic of the Internet if you can't see the image.
Fix those last remaining issues (I don't use the new plugins so they may have remaining contrast issues as well) and I'll be happy along with a lot of other users!
