It’s pretty cool, but I don’t know if it’s worth $100. I’m wanting to make a close-to-original TB, so this is pretty much the best looking option I’ve come across.

I bought a bunch of the gapco rotosound-style enclosures a couple years ago. Still haven't used one though. They ended up being like $11 each or something which doesn't seem like a big deal now

Fuck ya! Thanks man. According to Spotify, last year I listened to the song “willin’” more times than 99.999% of the people who listened that song. Also I listened to more At The Gates than 99.999%.Here you go

I've had one of these laying around forever. Every time I have a 3 knob circuit that I like enough to put in a fancy box, I can't bear to use such a monstrosity...

I like the look of those gapcos more than the fuzzcase ones. And the price is right on the gapco. I might snag one or two eventually

COLOUR-COMBOs:
There are a number of different colour-options to bi-colour LEDs, beyond just red & green.
I've got some
- Blue and green
- White and (I forget what other colour)
- Amber & red...
- A few other colour-combos — I'd have to look through my stash.
I have both common-anode AND common-cathode, just-in-case and indeed came across a build that required common cathode.
In fact, I find common-cathode more common than common-anode, once you step outside of the GPCB-realm.
USAGE:
At first I liked the idea of having red for bypass (shows the pedal is powered on your board) and green/blue/amber/whatever for showing the pedal is engaged. However, since most every LED-equipped pedal on the planet just lights up when it's engaged (and most often a red LED at that), it could get confusing when mixing commercial-pedals with bi-colour-LED-equipped DIY-builds. So I've abandoned this concept for...
...Where the GPCB Bi-Colour LED switcheroonikis come in handy is for builds with dual channels or dual features...
For instance:
- you build a tremolo pedal and want fast and slow repeats, so you rig up a 2knobjob for fast (green) and slow (amber) speeds.
- you rig up a 2-gain-level distortion and have blue (low-gain) and red (high-gain)
- An order-switcher that lights up green for normal order, and blue for when the second effect comes first (sometimes you can't see a toggle position at your feet on a dark stage or if you have bad eyesight...)
- ETC... use your imagination
I've still yet to find an amber/pink bicolour common-anode super-bright...
