Love the idea of affordable pedals that cross a broad array of effects needs but won’t this design choice be incredibly hard to distinguish on a pedal board or (worst case) a dark stage? Curious if anyone thinks this would be a real world challenge.

Plenty of room to apply your own stickers/paint/sharpie if you need visual cues to tell them apart.
6 bucks for 500 puffy stickers:

Any variation would add cost, so from that perspective this is genius.

Nice video ... I can really respect a bass player that can play McCartney's bass riff on I saw her standing there while also singing lead ... nice job
Very good point. I'm obviously a bit outside the target demographic as I didn't even consider these options.

I think every musical instrument retailer on Earth sent me an email about these pedals. 
I think they had a pretty cool idea. Something affordable with no bells n whistles, but sounds good (I liked their guitar demos... waiting for some bass ones to pop up). I actually like the simple design, and as mentioned above the lack of variation helps to keep costs down (it's a brilliant approach, imo).
They did leave a lot of empty space in the middle of the pedals, feels to me like they want people to customize em

There's a blank canvas on those pedals to add a customised graphic maybe.
That's exactly what they look like to me, I wouldn't be surprised at all if JSH ends up saying that was the idea.
Same, that fuzz is catching my attention
I don’t have ocd at all, but I think a board full of those would be more calming than what I got now....
Totally agree with @mmbongo.
Think of it as the cheap basses that are bought as base platform for your own mods.
Kind of same thing here, let's your imagination flow!!
Without knowing it Josh might also have found a new niche: "self-designed/modded pedal platform".
I needed a simple reverb to put after my Bass Fly Rig, I think I found it.
This line makes a lot of sense to me, plus it's made in USA.

Here's his video on the line. Mr JHS is quite the pedal historian and a good guitarist, very pleasant and interesting series of videos...
Delay and verb seem cool.
Simple 3 knob delay, yes please. Only thing is that I would like is a little more than .800 mil secs of delay.
But at that price, who am I to complain.
Waiting to hear the dirt on bas if it keeps the low end.

Actually, the text on each pedal already varies, both the name and the control labels are different on each pedal, so the variation of the screen print already exists from pedal to pedal.
Adding color to the screen print would add cost though.
I don't like the look at all. Have to wonder if Behringer is helping to reduce the cost in some way after his YouTube video praising Behringer caused their pedals to sell out everywhere. (According to my reps at Sweetwater and American Musical.)
I haven’t but 60 cycle hum did a video playing a baritone guitar through the fuzz and there is a “fat switch” that gave a nice bump in the lows. If you need a fuzz pedal you could do a lot worse, especially on price.
