Vestax VCI-380, FX Knob Mod.

Hi there DJ's...

Love my VCI-380 but the control knob for the FX was doing my head in as it has a RED line to indicate where it is and in the dark dj boxes i could not see this.

So i got a mate to paint the line WHITE simply Mod but can see it soooo much better now in the dark dj boxes.

take a look. (Why vestax made them red i never know lol)

A crazy design decision for sure. I leave them set as high-pass filters all the time, and I would regularly fade a track in only to realise the filter was on full...

Those knobs are the reason I first bought some Chroma Caps from DJ TechTools. The Super Knobs fit perfectly, and I found the taller profile more usable than the low profile of the originals.

I bought a few more since, and put them all on my SX.

Need to buy some more for my 380 when it gets the Serato DJ upgrade and I bring it out of retirement.

I'm not a fan of the fader caps, by the way. Soft rubber does not make for quick cuts. The knobs are great though. Really tactile.

Hhmmm ya there good might get the white ones. I just can't wait for activate stored loops not jump with serato dj.

I bought a set too, and I had the same issue with the fader caps. I bought the glow-in-the-dark fader caps because they are a hard plastic (instead of silicone) and they work perfectly. The glowing effect is cool too if you feed it some UV light...

I want to get the orange ones since most of the buttons on it light up orange most of time.
