| Stephen; Aside from the issue of not being able to see the LED's in the sunlight, beware that you may experience a shutdown due to heat build up in the pedals. I had both my DD20 and RC20xl shut down when playing in the sun even though it was a cool day. You can tell it's about to happen when the LED on the DD20 starts going all black. Both pedals recovered when cooled down and work fine (though I've since moved to using an RC50 for looping and haven't put the DD20 and 20xl through any hard testing to see if the heat caused any long lasting damage - ie: are they more susceptible to heat now????). - Paul

Did a lovely open air gig today at Will Gile's Exotic Garden in Norwich, great fun, played a good set.
BUT
I was set up on the balcony of the house, spouting out my sounds across the lovely garden, it never occurred that when the sun came out, I wouldn't be able to see any of my LEDs on my RC20, soundbite sampler or guitar FX. Big problem, had to try to create shades while playing. I usually have the opposite problem, and often need to set up a little light so I can see the controls.
... and the cats! At one point I had two moggies climbing between my legs and across my pedal board, and one perched atop the mixer.
Playing there again next Sunday; must pack sunshade (but will this encourage rain?) and pepper spray.
