Can the Tempo LED be disabled?

[expertsleepers]

I rarely need tempo-synced delays etc. and having a green LED constantly flashing at me is distracting. Can it be disabled? If not it might be gaffer tape time

Thanks for any suggestions.

I do not believe that you can disable it in the firmware. Black electrical tape has been a popular option.

You could globally remove the tap function from that footswitch entirely. If you decide a preset requires it, you could add it back as a per preset function.

Thanks, but I'm not talking about a footswitch. I'm talking about the dedicated tempo LED, just below the 'MIDI IN' LED.

Use a tiny piece of tape.

Well yes. It does seem a shame to cover bits of my shiny new £2k pedalboard with tape though.

Bet you could use a sharpie to black it out a bit, maybe not completely, but then be adle to still clean it off with a bit of elbow grease if really needed down the road..

Tape for an IT product as solution by a SW developer ... ... developing country ... ... you can make it better.

I have to say up till now it hasn’t bothered me.
I have always looked at it as being a heart beat, an indicator that its live somehow.
Now I’m wondering where that roll of electrical tape is. Doh!

I have tape on all my units. AXE-FXIII FM9 and FM3

I find it comforting.

Gaffer tape is the duct tape of the MI.

Go out and get yourself some thick black frames, with the glass so dark you won't even know....the light is on.

Unfortunately the tempo light is the exact brightness of the sun.

Expert sleepers? Os, is that you?

I always think of it as a landing beacon for wayward alien aircraft wondering if they will come and visit for a while.
