Howdy, Really loving my Zlux.....wonderful amp...no doubt about it. As usual, there's a BUT. I have a lot of trouble in band settings knowing/hearing if Reverb is on or if I'm in Boost/override. There are no light indicators on the pedals, and although I get it...the verb pedal looks like a Fender Deluxe pedal...it's a bit annoying. In a previous thread guys were discussing this and suggesting an after market fix/pedal to replace the Z's. I can't find the thread. Can anybody suggest someone who makes a replacement pedal with LED's. Thanx.

I remember that thread. The conclusion, if I recall, was that whatever after market pedal was being discussed was a huge disappointment.
My suggestion is to build your own. It was pretty easy to do.

Keep in mind that it is extremely important to exactly duplicate the impedance of the supplied pedal, or you may have noise problems with your reverb or popping when you switch it on and off. Dr. Z even switched it just after the Z-Lux first shipped because he wasn't 100% happy with the wiring he'd originally chosen. He went back to a tried and true pedal - the one you have - and the performance has been good.
So if you're going to buy or build, keep in mind you may be throwing money away. YMMV and good luck.

Someone on here suggested the Swart pedal for Reverb and Tremolo. But I can hear if those are on, so I haven’t tried it.
I use a Boss FS-5L for my boost. It has a light but not a variable volume control. I just set the EQ on the amp above noon and the boost is not so pronounced.

Be sure to use a shielded cable for the reverb portion of the pedal, if you don't it's going to hum.
