Help me kill these LEDs

(1/2) > >>

Not a picture of my actual amp, but same thing. The LEDs are a bit of a circus act in my opinion. I've been up one side of the internet and down the other on how to disable these things. I found two solutions. Nail polish. No, not going to do something like that that can't be undone. The second was electrical tape. Is it even ok to place something like tape over the socket? The LEDs are in the sockets which are clear. I'd grab a pic but it's a huge pain to pull the amp out and roll it over to get the glass cage off.

I'd like to do this as minimally invasive as possible, any thoughts? I love the sound it makes, so not looking for a different amp.

That designer is a jackass. Tubes make their own, much prettier glow.

That should be easy and it turns out you do not live far from me - we can do it when I get back from the West Coast the week of Dec 1st.  We can even add a switch to turn them on/off.

That would be great!

Took almost three years to complete and I feel stupid. Turns out all I needed to do was pull them out of the tube sockets from underneath. There is still a bit of blue showing around the sockets looking up close, but 10' away you can't see it.
