Exploration Sums Up

What I've Found:

Complex and Unintuitive User Interface: Users, especially those new to the DG Suite, found it tricky to navigate. Key screens like the Pedal Board lacked clear visual cues, making the experience frustrating and prone to errors.

Pedal board and effect view overlay

Disconnect Between Physical Pedals and the App: Users often struggled to integrate their physical pedals with the digital suite, creating a disconnect that made the system feel less cohesive. This was a recurring theme in the feedback received by customer support, signaling a need for improvement.

Hidden Gestures and Design Hiccups: The suite relied heavily on hidden gestures (like long touches and swipes) without clear visual hints. This led to confusion, particularly in areas with right-to-left languages, where a simple swipe could cause unexpected issues.

Hidden functionalities

Challenging IR Loading Process: The process of loading Impulse Responses (IR) was a significant pain point, with users finding it unintuitive and cumbersome. This issue was prevalent among both novice and experienced users, indicating a need for a more streamlined and accessible approach.

Lack of In-App Guidance and Documentation: Many users felt lost without in-app assistance and found the user guide lacking. This made it hard to fully explore and enjoy the suite’s more advanced features, like Quick-Pot binding.

How This Shaped the Redesign

It became clear that my focus needed to be on making the interface simpler, adding helpful guidance, and fixing the specific pain points around advanced features like Quick-Pot binding and IR loading. My goal was to create an experience that was not just intuitive and accessible but also enjoyable for both novice and experienced users.

Key Areas To Be Focused On:

Simplifying Key Screens: Reworking the Pedal Board and other important screens to make navigation easier and more intuitive, with a clearer visual hierarchy so users can quickly find what they need.

Visible Gesture Controls: Reducing reliance on hidden gestures by incorporating visible controls and ensuring the app accommodates right-to-left language scripts.

Streamlined Advanced Features: Simplifying the IR loading process and providing clearer instructions for Quick-Pot binding to reduce user frustration

In-App Help as a Future Focus: While we couldn’t address in-app guidance in this phase due to time constraints, it remains a key focus for future updates. This will ensure that users eventually have the support they need directly within the app.

Wrapping Up

This research phase was a treasure trove of insights that guided us in creating a more user-centered DG Suite. By addressing the key usability issues and strategically prioritizing features, the redesigned suite is now more intuitive, efficient, and enjoyable for everyone, with further enhancements on the horizon.

Tackling the Problems

Connecting Research to Action

After pinpointing the key pain points in the DG Suite, I jumped in to create solutions that would genuinely improve the user experience, leveraging the solutions suggested in the Heuristic Evaluation phase.

Simplifying Key Screens

The Navigation As The First Step

I found that the DG Suite’s navigation lacked consistency and didn’t follow a clear pattern, leading to user frustration—especially with the side menu, which didn’t align with standard mobile app practices.

The Design Decision:

Bottom Navigation Bar: I introduced a bottom navigation bar to make navigation more predictable and user-friendly, ensuring users can easily move between key sections.
Consistent Layouts: I standardized the layout of each screen with a clear focal point, simplifying navigation and reducing cognitive load.

Hidden Gestures and Interface Design Hiccups

Solution: Making Gestures Visible and Improving Interface Design

Approach

To resolve this issue, I focused on reducing the dependence on hidden gestures by integrating visible, intuitive controls that users could easily understand and interact with. I also ensured the interface was fully compatible with right-to-left languages, preventing the unintended actions that were previously causing frustration.

All hidden features and functionalities across the DG Suite are to be placed on an always-on-display Function Bar to accommodate users.

These improvements significantly enhanced the overall usability of the DG Suite, making it more intuitive and accessible to a wider audience. Users who were unfamiliar with hidden gestures, as well as those using right-to-left scripts, now experience a smoother and more predictable interaction with the app.

Modal for error prevention

Modal for error prevention

Building on insights from the Heuristic Evaluation, I implemented a confirmation step to prevent users from accidentally deleting an effect block from the pedal board due to its constant visibility. To cater to more experienced users who are confident in their actions, I also added an option to “do not show this again”, which can be easily managed later in the Settings section of the DG Suite - Exponent 500.

Internal testing

With the DG Suite already up and running, we were able to quickly put together a prototype for internal testing. Since the user experience with the DG Suite is so closely tied to the physical Exponent 500 and a bass guitar, we decided that internal testing cycles would be the best way to uncover any issues.

Problems found (Oops! There's a flaw in my design.)

What We Found

During our testing, a few key issues popped up, particularly with the Cabinet Selection and IR selection processes. Users were having a tough time quickly switching between different cabinet simulations when auditioning sounds. Every time they wanted to try out an IR, they had to go through the whole selection process from the beginning, which was frustrating and time-consuming.

What We Needed To Fix

To make things easier for users, the Cabsim View needed to:

Allow quick changes between cabinet simulations
Make microphone configuration fast and simple

Reiteration time

How We Improved It

Realizing the first version of the Cabsim View wasn’t quite hitting the mark, I went back to the drawing board and made some key changes to address the issues we found during testing. The goal was to streamline the process and make it more intuitive.

Cabinet selection wireframe

The Cabsim Redesign

To help users switch between cabinets more easily, I added a carousel to the cabinet selection screen. This lets users quickly scroll through and pick from available cabsims, which are now organized by tags like “Artist” or “Factory” and sorted into “Guitar” or “Bass” categories. This change made it much faster and simpler to find and audition different cabinets.

The active cabinet simulation is now displayed clearly at the top of the Effects Pedal Board, showing details like the cabinet’s name, the selected microphone, and its position. Users can just tap on the active cabsim to tweak their mic settings, making the IR configuration process smoother and more straightforward.

Beta testing

What we wanted to achieve

The main goal of our beta testing was to get real, honest feedback from Exponent 500 owners. We wanted to see how intuitive the redesigned DG Suite - Exponent 500 felt, especially for new users, and to find out how quickly they could get comfortable with the amplifier.

Beta testers group

We put together a group of 15 participants for this testing phase, which lasted two weeks. Everyone received a beta version of the app (available on iOS and Android) to put through its paces.

Who Was Involved:

In-Person Testers:
- One participant who was brand new to digital amplifiers.
- One experienced power user who uses the Exponent 500 regularly for live shows.

Remote Testers:
- 13 Exponent 500 owners, with a mix of semi-casual users and power users, who joined through a post in the Darkglass User's Facebook group.

What We Learned from In-Person Testing:

Beginner’s Experience

The beginner tester, with no prior experience with digital amps, managed to navigate most features pretty smoothly but found the effect binding a bit tricky.
He suggested an in-app guide to help new users get the most out of the Exponent 500, especially given how advanced it is.

Power User’s Take

The power user, who knows the Exponent 500 inside and out, loved the Pedal Board layout, saying it gave a clear overview of his sound setup.
He also appreciated the Function Bar for always having the right options at hand.
Overall, he found the redesign made the app more user-friendly, but he did suggest a few tweaks to improve the Preset Hub.

Feedback from Our Remote Testers:

What They Said

Our remote testers gave us some great feedback!
They loved the new, more prominent quick-save channel UI and found the updates to the Preset Hub super valuable.
Across the board, they felt the redesign made the DG Suite much easier to use.

The Big Takeaway

The beta testing phase showed us that we were on the right track with the redesign. Both in-person and remote testers confirmed that the new DG Suite is more intuitive, accessible, and just plain easier to use. We’ll be using their suggestions, like adding an in-app guide and refining the Preset Hub, to keep making things even better.

Outcomes, and learnings

Outcomes

Official Release

After gathering valuable feedback from our beta testers, we decided that some of the suggestions could be developed into future UX projects. However, the redesigned DG Suite - Exponent 500 was deemed ready for its official release.

Final Design Screens

As part of this project, I took the initiative to create a comprehensive DG Design System and led the DG Suite Design Overhaul. This resulted in a more cohesive, user-friendly interface that aligns with Darkglass’s brand identity.

Result in Numbers

The redesigned DG Suite quickly made an impact:

The number of sound presets created for the Exponent 500 grew by 20%, increasing from around 2,000 to over 2,500 within six months.
User-generated Impulse Responses across all devices soared by 75%, going from 7,000 to over 13,000.

Feedbacks

The redesign was well-received across the board. Users shared positive feedback both online and at showcase events, praising the improvements. Exponent 500 owners, in particular, appreciated the enhanced user experience.

Examples of the positive comments from users

The Customer Support team also noticed a difference, reporting that the new IR selection process is much more intuitive and consistent, leading to fewer user inquiries.

Learnings

While the redesign focused primarily on the mobile experience, some desktop users expressed dissatisfaction, highlighting the importance of maintaining balance between different platforms. It’s crucial to remember that the DG Suite complements the physical amplifiers rather than standing as a product on its own—this perspective was central to the design process.

Additionally, the DG Suite serves as a platform for various products catering to different user groups. Features like the Cloud Platform (Preset Hub) are shared across multiple products, emphasizing the need for a unified design that provides a seamless experience across the entire suite.

These insights have reinforced the importance of a multi-platform approach and the value of consistency in design. Moving forward, I’m committed to applying these learnings to create even more user-friendly and cohesive experiences in future projects.

Next steps

The DG Suite has a desktop and and a mobile app version, with the ability to connect to a few other products, hence, the next steps would be to improve the user experience of the desktop verison of the DG Suite - Exponent 500, and to look into other products.Per suggestions from online communities, and beta testers, one of the next steps would be to implement an in-app FAQ, or tool-tip guidance, as the Exponent 500 was deemed too "futuristics" and "advanced" for the current bass players around the globe.

Based on feedback from online communities and our beta testers, one priority will be to implement in-app FAQs or tool-tip guidance. Given that the Exponent 500 has been described as “futuristic” and “advanced,” these features will help users navigate its capabilities more easily, ensuring that bass players of all skill levels can fully embrace the technology.
