Cover protector for Stomp/XL parameter adjustment knobs

[mtnman82]

I'm looking for a cover/protector for the 3 parameter adjustment knobs below the display on the Stomp & StompXL.  Steve Sterlacci's StompXL videos show a cover on his StompXL and his wife's Stomp - exactly what I'm looking for.  Anyone know where to find these?

Hmm… well, I would guess that Steve Sterlacci, or his wife Jessica, are the best people to ask!

Having said that, and having had a quick peek at one of his videos, I would guess that it looks like a piece of foam packaging that you might find if you bought an FX Pedal which featured adjustment knobs, although it does appear to have the word “STOMPER” on top.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

I did reach out to Steve, hoping he has time to get back to me.  Thought I'd ask here for a possible quick answer.  I've googled stomper (and a myriad of other possibilities) and have been all over Etsy to no avail.

 

I'm assuming it's a hard cover to prevent damaging the knob from an accidental foot swipe.  A hard cover protecter for those knobs makes sense to me.

If you want to prevent the parameter knobs from changing your sound, the easiest way is to put the cursor in a corner (x) (no blocks), and save your preset.  That's what I've been doing, as I never need to adjust anything on the fly.  If I do need to fix something, I'll use the joystick and scroll to the proper block, adjust it, save it, and put the cursor back to the corner.  If you need to adjust the amp, there's a rather redundant "amp" button: press that and your screen will bring up the amp settings, as before.

 

I've also used a dummy send block trick to see if the expression pedal is engaged or not, explained in the video below.  In my experience, covers trap dirt and dust, and are not worth it.  I use this "dummy send block" trick in every preset where the expression pedal is doing something.  That is an extra cue for me to know that 1) expression pedal is going to be doing something and 2) to monitor if I forgot to disengage the expression pedal.   When you are playing a loud show, it's easy to forget to turn off your wah, or some other sound, and you won't realize it because it can be that loud on stage.   Been there, done that.

Thanks for the reply Elevators.  I'm worried about accidentally stepping on those knobs so am looking for the same type cover to protect them.
