Majesty pot knob markings

[mkozjak]

Hi, all!

Has anyone ever put any stickers or drew numbers on tone and volume pot knobs of an EBMM Majesty so they actually know what they’re dialed to?

Lately I have been using this guitar for blues playing and I have been using pots extensively. Volume, tone and piezo. I mix piezo with magnetics…

I was thinking about using a white 1mm permanent marker to write numbers on that black/grey rubber so I can see where I’m at.

I have always have a fine tip paint pen lying around for this kind of marking on effects pedals. I like Edding for metallics, Posca for colors. (I color code both ends of DC cables on a pedalboard, makes it super easy to find an undo connections). Paint usually comes off with Isopropyl Alcohol or naptha or electrical contact cleaner.

Just tried white Edding 780. Definitely didn't work. Fell off right away.

I usually replace everything with either MXR-style or marked, metal barrel-style knobs. But I don't have a Majesty, so that might look odd.

The great thing about knobs is that they are relatively cheap and easy to switch out if you don't like something.
