Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Oh boy what have i started here LOLOL, well after looking at the 
pics I know I wont me messing with it just to have blue lights.  
That would be dam difficult.  I was thinking that we would be 
dealing with the larger two pin leds and thoes thing are just tiny!

well thanks for the pics David Jones the xl is one of the peices of 
gear that i have not got inside of and thats ok with me :)

i have to replace the knob and a couple of switches in my e5000 soon 
and that will be enuf fun for me.  Ps dam the controller knobs on 
emu gear burn out quick i have to say.  It seems that i have to do 
this once a year or so :( and the  datta weel on the xl is already 
starting to go.  NOT COOL.

Peace 

Mike

lot of LED's in their catalog for pretty cheap.  I swapped out the 
LEDs in my car radio to match the interior lights after I made them 
all red, it was easy if you've got a soldier sucker.  Are the 
soldiered LED's colored red though, or do they rely on the lenses 
mounted to the case to provide the light?  That'll be the real 
question as to how easy this is to do.  If they're just white LED's, 
it'll be dead simple to put some blue colored film or custom 
plexiglass plugs in there to make them all blue, probably just as 
easy to do with the buttons too.

Damn, there goes my warrenty!  Fun stuff!
