Re: Anyone ever mark their settings on their pedals?
I have two settings for my pedals. One for my home amp (Vox Valvetronix) the other for my Live setup (Mesa Triples). I have a notebook that has all the pedal positions written down for both.

I use the phone photos for amp and pedals and use nail polish on pedals at times. For example here is a church practice setting for my AC15C1.

I go the picture route. Rarely have I written/diagrammed it out.

Re: Anyone ever mark their settings on their pedals?
Have the same issues all the time with bumping my pedal settings during the show, so I started using Neat Nobs. So far I like them better than any marker or tape I've tried because the won't tear, they mark easy and my markings stay put (unlike some marker pen I tried that smudged off), and they don't leave a residue when I take them off the pedals. I trade/sell pedals often so that is important for me.

You can also just pull the knobs off and put them back on so that they all point at 12 o'clock (straight up) or 6 o'clock (straight down). Kind of like Nascar drivers do with their gauges - a quick glance and if everything is pointing straight up then all is good!
(Nascar drivers rotate all their gauges so that the needles are pointing straight up when the temps and pressures are all in the "good" range. Or at least they used to. For all I know they use digital thingies these days?"

True, but seems like a lot to do in the middle of a song in front of 800 people at a show.

I keep settings I like in a notebook. I'm always fiddling with stuff so when I hit on a sound I really like, I write it down for future reference.

Re: Anyone ever mark their settings on their pedals?
I only have one pedal I use in my setup and it pretty much remains where it is (Ibanez Tubescreamer). Drive on zero, Tone 12 noon and level around 1 o'clock, I adjust this to suit wherever I'm playing, on stage, in a practice room etc.

Re: Anyone ever mark their settings on their pedals?
I know this is an old thread, but I've been meaning to do the O-ring thing for two years now. If mod pedals get messed up, who cares but with gain stacking little changes in two pedals gain/volume gets really annoying to have to dial in every time the pedalboard goes in the bag!

Re: Anyone ever mark their settings on their pedals?
I saw that on a rig rundown and thought it was brilliant. I've used that a few times and it works pretty well.

This is me also.
During sound check, there is always a bit of tweaking to "tune" to the room, but I remember the basic settings.
Each pedal has a very specific purpose, and I only use a few so it isn't that complicated.
