Darth Fader

This is for a pedal I've been developing with @mysteriousj .I just was making up a new board version and I put a LED beside the end of the fader. I found if you cut the side off the pot so light can shine in, you get some cool lighting! The more you know :thumb:

I think I've seen this in small EQ pedals before but I've never actually opened one up. It's pretty easy and effective to do it this way if that's anything new.

A dust cover diffuses the light a bit better too.
