wilkinsi Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I want to dim the 12 footswitch screens on my Helix Control to look more like the preset LCD. I've already googled this and I live in the UK. Has anyone got any better suggestions (besides wearing sunglasses, I have severe nerve damage). I would prefer something that does not damage the Helix Control. Something like the strips it arrives with from the factory, only darker.

phil_m Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 You can get lighting gels for like $7 a sheet and cut your own strips to lay across the scribble strips. You could just tape them down. The Rosco Light Grey would cut the intensity by 50%: https://www.amazon.com/Rosco-Roscolux-Effects-Lighting-Filter/dp/B0002Z80CI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541531765&sr=8-1&keywords=rosco+light+grey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a bunch of companies that make gels... Rosco is just kind of the go-to for lighting people.

I was also hoping it would be 2x/3x as dark, just like the preset name display on Helix Control already is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilkinsi Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Anybody know the name of the factory supplied tape you peel off the Helix displays? I figure if I knew this, it might make it easier to find exactly what I'm looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
