Slide pots are a huge pain to clean and keep clean. Great for levels on a mixer but that's about it.

SLIDERSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

That immediate, no effort visual feedback. That smooth control you can have when smoothness is key. That ability for fine adjustment that, like knobs, is made easier the bigger they are. Sure they're a little more work for upkeep, but they're so pretty it doesn't matter.

Faders/sliders:

- Ya can tweak em with yer foot/toes
- Look cool
- You have better visuals of your settings. On a dark stage or whatever, it's not always that clear with pedals that have regular knobs.

But yeah, dust/durability is a thing, and so is accuracy I guess :idk:

I think the only real advantage knobs have is space. You can definitely pack more knobs than sliders into a confined space.
