Glow In The Dark Faders + Chroma Cap-tion Contest Winners

Written by Dan White on January 4th, 2013 25 Comments

Ever since we first started making our own knobs and faders, we’ve gotten requests to make a glow-in-the-dark versions – and DJTT is excited to announce that we’re putting glowing faders in stock today. The faders are a translucent hard polypropylene plastic, and glow green after being exposed to light.

They’re in the DJTT webstore store now for the usual Chroma Caps prices – check them out here. Special thanks to all of the DJs who have tested them out and gave us feedback! We’ve heard from a number of turntablists that the hard plastic faders combined with the slightly fatter fader is pretty fast and fun to play with.

CHROMA CAP-TION WINNERS

Congratulations, TechToolians, you made us laugh. We posted a picture of Neo stopping ~~bullets~~ Chroma Caps with his mind a few weeks ago and asked for your best captions in an epic contest of hilarity – and got a ton of great responses both in the comments and on our Facebook page.

As always, we wish we could give you all prizes, but then we wouldn’t have any Chroma Caps left to shoot at Mr. Anderson, so the DJTT staff chose our two favorites as the winners. First place went to this popular gem from David Halford:

Second place goes to this short and sweet gem from Murray Nuttal:

Thanks to everyone for their great submissions, and watch out for déjà vu!

Winning comments were pretty lame and predictable. Just my opinion.

Congrats to the winners, but could the quotes be any more similar? Need some parody here……
where are the APC caps??!!

for some strange reason, they don’t make chroma caps to fit the APC’s…sigh…neither pots nor pans. i use *one* on my master pan – it’s huge and clunky – just what i need to recognize that’s the master channel – lol

What? Glow in the dark is only available for faders? And not the rest of the knobs? Thats bullshit!

OH MY GOD YES! I suppose it would be asking too much to have different colored glow in the dark knobs and sliders now wouldn’t it? I personally like Red, Orange, Yellow and Green but Blue is good too. I often work in low-light conditions and my controller is below the computer so grabbing a black knob on a black controller isn’t the best visual feedback.

Thank you for making these… when you make the knobs I’ll order the whole kit.
