    Why do you need a dot to tell how loud it is? Doesn't the display give a readout?

    I don't, but it's nice to see where it's at sometimes. There is no display.

    I've heard and seen this piece of equipment. There is no need for a disply.

    The guts are what makes the music. Could give a fook about the dot on the dial.

    so I take it there was already a little hole to put it into? pretty ingenious but hey we expect that from you ol'boy:)

    It's not a hole, more of a nipple.

    I'm offended ...

    Sometimes LED's are too bright anyway. I recall Paul (RIP) at Bizzy Bee (the TAD tube amps) had really bright LED's. He used some kind of LED prophylactic to cut the intensity down. That's what we need, rubbers for LED's....lol

    Great mod Jesse!

    I think each dot is 50 "mikes" a piece.
