VOX ToneLab Patch Exchange

This isn't really a "bug," so I didn't want to post it in that section.

I recently performed at an outdoor picnic with my band. 'Had my SE all programmed and ready to go. It was hot as heck. It eventually hit 93 degrees, during the gig. But, as soon as the show was about to start, I realized I had a slight problem!

After all my hard work on the patches, I could not SEE the bank and program numbers, because the sun was shining directly on my ToneLab! It was SO bright out, that even when I tried (clumsily, with a guitar) kneeling down, and shading the display with my hand, with or without sunglasses, I could not see the darn numbers.

This was sorta bad because, on some songs in the set list, I had not written the program NAME, I had only written "1/3," meaning "bank 1, program 3." Like any band, we pride ourselves on keeping the show moving, so we only take a few seconds between songs, and I was doing the background vocals, too, so I was in trouble, quickly.

I had no problems with the songs where I had written down the full program name. I could see the write/exit display section fine, and take a moment to quickly tap through the names to find what I needed. Moral of the story: from now on I note the program NAMES I plan to use, as well as their bank and program number location.

Anyone else ever run into a "brightness" problem, or readability issue, in relation to any of the TL displays?
