You don’t have to own an EHX pedal too long before you realize how vulnerable the print is on the casing. I’ve noticed that some other brands have taken their screened or stamped branding graphics more seriously by coating their pedals with a lacquer type clear-coat. Not only would it make their pedals stand out more but it’d preserve the print work on the casing.

I don’t know how complicated of a step it’d be to add a clear-coat on them and my assumptions are that their factory might not accommodate the process.

A lot of owners may appreciate the graphics fading and scratching as part of the nostalgia of a long owned and used piece of gear, but there are times where the loss of graphics surrounding controls, could affect precision with settings for example.

I will say though, I don’t have any of the newer NANO boxes…. maybe they do coat those, I don’t know… but with their classic style boxes, it’s a problem.
