Pedals in sunlight

[webephishin]

Does anyone have any remedies of making your pedal LEDs more visible while playing a midday show outside?  Ive recently played a cpl shows outside during the day and its been tough to see which pedals are on and which are not.  Usually I can tell by the sound from my amp and/or monitors but when the sound guy isnt doing a good job and the sound is f'ed,  its tough to figure out on the fly.

The only thing that comes to mind is shielding some of the light somehow... it sounds funny, but maybe setting up one of those beach umbrella's, or attaching some cardboard around part of your board (which ever side faces the sun - maybe cutting 3 sides off of a box).

If you have a soldering iron, replace the LEDs with bright ones. They are cheap and are rated by brightness. Only two leads to swap. I did it on my ts-9s and it makes a huge difference. Night and day you could say.

Good suggestion too, but then they might hurt your eyes when playing in doors

I put some white painters/masking tape over them, it make enough of a difference I guess. The tuner is the worst though!

I use the bright blue l.e.d's when I mod pedals. In a dark bar you can see the knob settings.
