Seems kind of harsh. I guess I won't be showing you any of my first pedals.
How do you install your footswitches ? What to do with the various rings ?

Don't worry. I'm not easily offended. But I mean WTF dude...
I’m just kidding.
Seriously though I have a very dry sense of humor and I take everything with a grain of salt.
And oh by the way -- I apologize in advance if I ever offend anyone on this forum. I just like to have a bit of fun.
I know it's all shits and giggles until somebody giggles and shits...

People who don't like white washers started the fight in the first place. Not the realistic, curious, neutral and talented forum members, who know how to appreciate a good plastic white washer inside an enclosure.
Mostly by using very unkind words about the precious plastic ring, and by shamelessly questioning white washer users's moral integrity and good tastes.
Reasonable people, able to understand solid scientific evidence (see reply #21), couldn't stand idly by. We only tried to calm them down, in order to restore the quiet, appropriate and republican atmosphere for serious diy work .
But as my grandfather used to say : " when a wise person is pointing his finger toward the sun, some unreasonable people are looking at the finger"...
I guess we should start all over again from the beginning ?

What annoys me is tayda's Alpha pots vary from polished nuts to plain zinc nuts when you have to use skinny knobs on 5 & 6 pot 125B's where the nut is exposed!
I have to rob them from pots I know i am going to use with 19mm knobs on another build!!!
It's Real!!!

I think we can all agree that hardware is hard -- even if it is a little piece of white plastic.

I have a question for our dear fellows white-washerophobic members :
How do you feel aesthetically speaking about these plastic led mounting clips ?
Let's be honest, don't you feel also some kind of discomfort when you look at this picture ?
According to the traditional white-washerophobic point of view, aren't they also "ugly" ? Wouldn't they also ruin a stompbox artwork by their "cheap look" ?
Would it be even worse if they were white ?

I had to give into this when I built my Paragon because the metal bezel were shorting the pots so now I just accept their existence in some of my builds.

Those stamped pot-nuts are the worst.
They are handy when there is no Led pads on the Main PCB from other vendors.
You want to use them for the Eyes in Graphics like my Rat pedals!

I'm a believer that if it lights up it's cool, but lately, I prefer these...

Ok, I've been on this forum long enough to post an actual photo for my avatar/icon -- what do you all think about guitar face?
There is a 3mm Black plastic led holder in this pedal if you look real close!:

Maybe if you look real close at the rat's eye, but there's also one of these (prominently visible)...

Let's clarify :
You are saying that you like the 3PDT plastic washer, you also like plastic led mounting clips, but you think these mounting clips are ugly despite your interest for them, and it would be even worse if they were white ?
So you are not white-washerophobic, but you deeply feel and act like one ?
I am trying to establish a pattern and push the anti-plastic washers members into a corner... Your beautiful contradictions are messing with my strategic plans.
Don't you want the victory of the plastic ring, over the shady schemes of those who are rejecting the truth ?

Just to be clear...I have nothing against the white washers -- (just between me and you all of my pedals have white washers -- just don't tell anybody in this thread that -- i don't want @KR Sound to block me)--however, I am a big fan of chrome LED holders--the shinier the better. It's kind of my thing -- I mean you have your white washers, let me have my chrome LED holders. Cool?

I'm afraid this is beyond you and me.
This is about all these precious rings that are being thrown away into the garbage, probably as we speak, by so many misguided fellow members, all in good faith, believing they are doing the right thing. Unaware that they are in fact making life much harder for their 3PDT...
