    A little glow-in-the-dark nail polish or model paint goes a long way...

    I noticed that on my Micro Chorus when I had it. The 10 Band EQ also lights up. And I loved the Tone Lok Echo that I had. It sounded okay, but the locking knobs was amazing.

    I also like the Ler LaLonde method of putting arrows on the pedals. When all of them are facing up, then you know you've dialed in the tone again.

    I have been playing MXR since 1980 and I never noticed it. Freaky.

    I like the one on the new SD Vapor Trail.



    I discovered the MXR glow in the dark knobs a few years ago, and couldn't believe I'd never noticed it before.

    If nothing else I miss my old Phase 90 for that.

    Cool MXR Feature

    Have you ever noticed that the stripe on MXR knobs is glow-in-the-dark?

    I was bringing my gear in from the car yesterday and left my pedals sitting in the sun for a minute. When I got to the jam room, I saw the knobs glowing in the dim light. I suppose this could be very helpful when bright stage lights go off.

    I've been playing MXR pedals forever, but somehow I've never noticed this until recently.
Working...
