How can i read led screens on effects

[solutionbassist]

[uaudio]

I don't understand the question. Are you talking about reflections from stage lights?

[solutionbassist]

yeah

is there a tint-like transparent tape maybe to put over them??

I did an outdoor gig once where I had to squat down to see my tuner . . . REALLY sucked!

Parasol?

the only solution ive found is polaroid sunglasses. but then you look like a tool if your inside :s

[solutionbassist]

i could put polarized sunglasses lens ontop of the screens

I don't know how or if this would work, but they make the polarized screen protectors for cell phones. That may work. Worth a shot if it is that maddening to you.

Angle your pedal board.

Touche. The glare will be all but gone though .

I'm having a little bit of trouble with this myself on my M13. The problem is my glasses cause some glare and I can't read my effect type. I tried dropping the contrast and then the words aren't clear enough. I end up bending over and adjusting my glasses like an old man trying to read a cell phone instruction booklet.

Just to be clear, I'm not getting older. That is NOT what is going on.

Waaah for me.

I've always though about building a cover of sorts to shade the effects but still allowing access.

There's always hiring a tech to switch your effects and tune your basses for you.
