My Peace Potis showed up

[Securb]

My Wampler Distortion has two rows of knobs with the level and gain too close to the foot switch. I am finding I nudge them out of position when stepping on the pedal. I tried a pedal topper but it doesn't sit on that foot switch. I am going to give these a try.

I have a one-year old who is enamored by the lights and knobs on my pedalboard...these could be life-saving, LOL!

[solspirit]

Very cool. I play in the dark garage now.

[Masta' C]

I see they have 2 versions...one with a metal casing and the other with plastic. Looks like you got the "Pro" (i.e. metal) version?

Very curious what you think of them once in use.

I will pop them on tomorrow but don't have rehearsal until Thursday and Saturday. Saturday with my metal band is when they will get the test.

[Securb]

Don't have to wait until Saturday to tell you these things work as advertised. It is a fairly simple almost toolless installation and those knob settings are not changing unless I want them to. And they are toddler-proof unless Masta' C's kid is savvy enough to grab a guitar pick to turn the knob.

[solspirit]

I haven't followed the thread, these things actually lock?

[Securb]

No lock. The knobs are slightly recessed inside a metal cylinder. The only way to turn them is with your fingernail or the edge of a guitar pick. You can not accidentally move them with your foot or your cable dragging across your pedal.

Sadly, I think he might be just that savvy!

Dude isn't even 18 mos old yet, but he's already as big as most 2-2.5 year olds and just as clever. He was an early walker and is absolutely obsessed with how things work. He loves rock music, drums on real drums while singing, and uses a balance bike and 3-wheel scooter on his own already. He can open every door in the house and unlock and start both our cars just from watching us!

He even knows how to make my espresso in the morning! I'm not lying...he does every step in the right order from grinding and tamping the beans to pulling a shot (though I do have to help him measure out the beans first and mount the loaded portafilter). Sounds crazy, but it's one of his absolute favorite things to help me with! I just don't let him handle the "hot" stuff or work the steam wand, but he knows how to do it all!

His latest fascinations are keys and locks, using my hand and power tools, and turning knobs/switches, which is why the pedalboard is such a problem.

The moment he sees me use a pick to adjust the knobs on the pedals, I suspect he'll want to do the same! Cool concept, though.

How do you like the Dracarys, and what kind of tones are you using it for?

I love it. I do not have to max it out, plenty of gain on hand. The EQ is very flexible and the tight/open switch is very helpful. I have it set for tighter percussive distortion. Tone wise mostly metal. The lead guitar is the Dracarys w/ Dimebucker, and the second guitar is a maxed-out MXR D+ w/ Black Winter.

Good idea, crazy expensive (to me at least).

First time buyers signing up can get a 10% off code. Brings the 20-pack of black plastic ones to about $88 USD shipped.

That covers about 5 pedals for me, which might be enough to meet my needs, but that's like $17/pedal to convert them over to these...yikes!

They should wholesale to pedal manufacturers so most pedals can come with them by default

Get a guitar in his hands. He might be the next EVH.

[eclecticsynergy]

Cool idea! Even without accidental foot nudges, my pedalboard knobs sometimes get jostled when putting it in/taking it out of its case.
