Get yellow knobs and go for the Markbass effect. 🙃

They didn't have them!!!

Seriously, a warm yellow/orange with black markers... I would have at least bought a few to test. But I never found them. I saw some close, but with white markers which made them harder to see than the original knobs...

Recently I replaced a set of black knobs on a black pedal with yellow chicken head knobs... it works, and the MB resemblance was pointed out

... yeah, still loving it, but I hadto do something. Black on black looks great, however it's not the best for visibility. So I did this. The look is growing on me, it's not my favourite, but at least I can now see the settings clearly and quickly

Played first gig with it last night.

Well lit stage!

Still... I did find it a lot nicer to use. Happy with it.

The D-800+ was £899 at Andertons for a few hours, then I think they realised it was the wrong price!

Haha yep that's exactly when I bought mine! Checked their site the next week, it was out of stock with another £250 on the price! Bargains like that exacerbate my G.A.S. Sound engineer at a regular gig was very complimentary on my 800+ first outing, and he usually doesn't enthuse about much at all!
