Blinded by the lights?

Some effects units seem like their built‑in LEDs aren't there to indicate that the stompbox is active, but to turn the stage into a fully lit airport runway. With a half-dozen pedals on at once, a pedalboard can quickly feel so bright that it must be visible from orbit! Knowing guitarists like they do, the German company RockBoard has come up with another one of their straightforward solutions to help make musicians' lives easier. The RockBoard Defractive Covers seriously tone down the glare of excessively bright pedal LEDs – a simple, practical idea that won't break the bank. They can be popped into place in seconds and can be taken off again just as easily whenever it's time to go back to the day-job at air traffic control.

RockBoard Damper Large Defractive Cover

Stuck on the pedal with you

RockBoard's self‑adhesive LED dampers are quick to install – just peel off the backing strip and stick them in place. It's worth making sure that both the LED and the surrounding surface are as free of dust as possible, so the adhesive holds for the long haul. The LED itself shouldn't exceed an outer diameter of 10mm and a height of 3mm. Anyone with smaller LEDs on their pedals can switch to the Small Defractive Covers instead, with a diameter of 8mm. The pack includes five LED dampers that massively reduce the brightness of an LED indicator, while still allowing its status to be seen clearly.

No need for sunglasses at night

Any guitarist who's long been bothered by overly bright LEDs on their effects pedals will find the RockBoard Defractive Covers to be a professional-looking solution that's also affordable and easy to fit. In the past, musicians often resorted to masking tape, but that isn't exactly a sustainable long-term remedy – plus it tends to leave the pedalboard looking like a low‑budget movie mummy. For musicians who care about a clean, uniform look – and don't want to deal with the glare by wearing sunglasses on stage – a damper pack from RockBoard is a solid, reliable choice.

About RockBoard

RockBoard is part of the Warwick group, which is based in Markneukirchen in Germany's Vogtland region. RockBoard's range focuses on pedalboards, which are available in numerous different designs to suit any application and budget.

In short, RockBoard offers virtually everything that players need to easily set up their own individual pedalboard.

Turn off the bright lights

The RockBoard LED Dampers aren't just handy for pedal fans who are sensitive to bright lights: They're also ideal for productions where the stage show mustn't be disrupted by stray light sources. The RockBoard Defractive Covers take the brightness right down, keeping the stage looking clean – without any pedal LEDs to upset the lighting engineer's plans. If better visibility is an important criterion, RockBoard also offer the decorative, pilot-light style LED Dampers. Either way, this affordable and reversible pedal modification delivers a real practical benefit, going well beyond being a simple gimmick.

It does change the bright LED lights on the pedals..
To be honest... I like the LED Damper better... they look more nice.
But all effective, they stick well on the pedal

Wer Earthquaker Pedale hat, kennt sicher das Problem, dass man manchmal das Pedal vor lauter Lichtern nicht mehr sieht. Diese Dinger passen super bei Earthquaker Pedalen, die kleineren passen nicht über die relativ großen Fassungen der LEDs, also falls es noch nicht klar geworden sein sollte: Für EQD-Pedale die hier kaufen :D

Einfach anzubringen, halten super, das Licht ist immer noch gut sichtbar, aber blendet nicht mehr so. Super Dinger!

Super Idee!

Die Teile sind so praktisch wie sie einfach sind. Ich habe einige Pedale auf dem Board, deren LEDs so hell sind, das man einfach nichts mehr bei dem Blick aufs Board sieht. Diese kleinen aufklebaren Cover schaffen hier Abhilfe. Die Teile sind sehr leicht anzubringen, fallen nicht besonders auf den Pedalen auf, man erkennt noch sehr deutlich den Zustand (aktiviert/bybass) des Pedals und sieht zudem noch die Regler. Ein kleines zusätzliches Feature dieser Cover ist, dass sie etwas fragile LEDs noch zusätzlich etwas vor Tritten beim Aktivieren der Schalter schützen. Ich nutze diese Cover hauptsächlich auf Pedalen von Earthquaker Devices. Der Preis ist etwas hoch, aber durchaus ok für das Produkt.

Muss nicht, ist aber gut.

Für ein paar Pedals z.B. die von Earthquaker Devices, deren LEDs extrem hell leuchten, ganz angenehm. Auf ner dunklen Bühne mit diffusem Licht ganz angenehm. Kleben sehr gut. Bei einem Pedal war die LED zu nah am Footswitch, ein Cuttermesser bot Abhilfe. Natürlich lässt sich gewünschter Effekt mit preiswerterer Methoden einfach herstellen.
