I notice, with some disappointment, that the little dials on my DTXpress (version 1) are black all over, which makes it hard to determine volume levels when playing in a poorly lit live situation. Are the pointers on those dials highlighted (in white perhaps) on the DTXpress 2? I am thinking of getting a pot of white paint and dotting the pointers. Do any other DTXpress 1 owners have the same problem as me? If so, how have you overcome it?

Well, if I need something louder, I turn it to the right. If I need something softer, I turn it to the left ;-). No paint necessary! I don't really think not having a easy-to-see indicator is that much of a problem, but if you really need it, take a bottle of White-Out and put a little white dot on the dial...

Smart one, James! In my band, all instruments feed directly to the PA. Any indiscrimate fiddling with the drum volume is bound to upset the other musicians, and when you're sitting behind the kit at the back of the stage it's impossible to know what your level is out front. So I really do need to judge my settings acccurately. I'll try your White-Out suggestion, however! --- In DTXpress@yahoogroups.com, "James Willard" <james@w...> wrote: > Well, if I need something louder, I turn it to the right.
