How do you install your footswitches ? What to do with the various rings ?

Here is an humble exemple (PPCB Low Tide on the right) where i think the build's aesthetic balance would crumble, if we would decide to remove the plastic washer located on the outside :


Please notice the elegant discretion of these plastic led mounting clips on both enclosures. They are meant as a symbol of both strength and harmony in these two artwork designs.

These are both beautiful, but I must repeat that all of my pedals prominently feature the white washer -- yours do not. And despite your use (or lack thereof) of a chrome LED bezel, your pedals are beautiful. However both could be enhanced by a chrome ring of fire that could take them to the next level.

Although, these builds don't bring out their plastic washers at all. Even worse, your designs seem to try to hide them with all the white paint coating.

Look at the Friends of Pluto logo -- you said it yourself that the shape of the sun and the moon (and by extension the planets - regardless of whether to not you think Pluto is a planet) were in the shape of the white washer. I mean, it you ever had a champion for your cause -- I'd be your guy. But instead you look at me as your enemy because It told a little white lie so as not to hurt your feelings about my desire for the the chrome LED bezel - well for that I am trully sorry.

Here the plastic washer is obviously "eating" some of the artwork.

Either these plastic rings have been hastily installed on these builds by a plastic-washerophobic acting under false flag, or the whole artwork didn't include them correctly.

Ok, now your'e being critical of my designs or you didn't understand what I meant when I said I was embarrassed by my artwork. I know these suck. I've been doing the best I can do. I'm ashamed now.

Understandable, doing justice to plastic washer is far from easy. But if we are going to have a debate on white washers, people on the pro-white washer side can't afford to produce mitigated exemples to convince the other side. Only the best exemples can be introduced at this level. A true plastic washer supporter would understand that, right ?

Unfortunately my Low Tide build was merely a poor exemple to show the various possibilities. In no circonstances it could convince the other side.

I will find some really overwhelming exemples of amazing builds with plastic washers on the outside.

Moreover, i think your picture was posted in order to make a point about metal led bezels, not specifically about white washers.

I wonder what was written there ? Are we sure that a plastic led mounting clip wouldn't fit better here ?

I'm just saying that i showed your mine (embarrassing as it is). Now you need to show me yours. And of course the chrome bezels were on full display for all to see - I'm not shy that those are my thing - even if I lied to you about it. Let's just all agree that chrome is a good thing.

I see... Now you've done it, everyone can see that you are going too far.

And what about the good old standard red led ? Aren't they "ugly" ? Don't they give a "cheap look" to your stompboxes ? Aren't orange, yellow, blue, pink, lila, or even green leds much better than the standard red led ?

I mean, what is it going to be next ? First the white washer, then the black plastic led mounting clip, now the red led... Where is it going to end ?

Can't we make the world and the diy community a little bit simpler, and just put the plastic ring around the 3PDT, inside the enclosure ? Like reasonable human beings ?

What's wrong with dampening vibrations and absorbing shocks on the footswich, thanks to this clever little tool ?

White LED for drive, pink for mod, blue for reverb and delay <3
