Illuminated pots??!

[Rpschultz13]

I saw this pedal on Reverb. It has illuminated pots. How did he do that?

Now that I think about it, probably those ring lights under transparent knobs.

It's a pot with a transparent shaft. You can mount an LED underneath.

Thanks for the link. I just sent the seller a message. Hopefully he will answer it and I will let you know what he says. The only commercial ones I have been able to find are from Mouser. I was hoping to find some that are standard size. No luck yet.

I don't know if it's him but he want's to sell them in the future. Resin casted clear shaft.

A long time ago I bought some of the ones Robert posted.

They're for a compressor build — the knobs' glow will match the amount of compression.


I don't think the Small Synth Bear Cube ones are particularly expensive.
