Yes, don't use pedalsThe first thing I learned is that the led's on my pedals are totally useless in bright sunlight. I'll have to come up with a way to shade them. Has anybody come up with a solution for that?
The band I was in were all seasoned musicians (except for me). I did sound for the band but the first gig we played with a house sound man (The Dawg House in Fraser, MI) the guys all pitched in $5 and had me tip the sound guy the $20 before we set up for our set (we were the second of 3 bands). Insider information I was glad to learn.... more than one person said we sounded the best of the 3 bands .Never piss off the sound people I'm told.
I put super bright 5mm LED's in mine and try to set my board depending on the sun against the monitors or behind me against my amp so it's shadedYes, don't use pedals
I've gone back and forth on that many times. I need my turner pedal and couldn't see that either.Yes, don't use pedals
In a case like that, have the keyboard play an 'A' and tune using your ears. Electronic tuners are great but tuning by ear is a skill that comes in great for situations like this.

Now where are you going to find cardboard from a 12 pack of beer at a blues festival? You don't get out much, do you. Beer at a blues festival, really. Sheesh. Next thing you'll be telling me is that there is beer at a BGU live event.The cardboard from a 12 pack of beer and some duct tape, or the cardboard from the bottom of a soda case and 3 pencils make a great sun shade.
That might work but not the look l’d be going for on stage.The cardboard from a 12 pack of beer and some duct tape, or the cardboard from the bottom of a soda case and 3 pencils make a great sun shade.
This from a guy that wears a pink strap?That might work but not the look l’d be going for on stage.
