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

[chris.knudson]

Would it be even worse if they were white ?

Yeah, maybe?

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?

 

[music6000]

Sorry, I kind of have to agree with the anti-white-washers on this one...

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)...

 

[eh là bas ma]

Yeah, maybe?

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?

 

[eh là bas ma]

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...

 

[chris.knudson]

Maybe it is. I get it -- the little white rings of plastic are going into our landfills as we speak, and nobody seems to care. I'm just disappointed that nobody noticed my guitar face avatar/icon. I think I might as well go back to the purple C.

 

[chris.knudson]

by shamelessly questioning white washer users's moral integrity and good tastes.

Not to fear @eh là bas ma, I would never question your moral integrity and good taste!

 

[MBFX]

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 HATE THESE. Chromed metal bezels all day errday

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 ?

Nope.

Black plastic LED bezels reside in the same circle of Dante’s Hell as the white washer.

Nothing more classic than a red LED though, although 3mm is light years classier than the 5mm.

Never. If we start letting standards slip on this simple thing, next thing we know it’ll be rats nest wiring on the inside. Wait…

Very dubious.

Is like to see the tests performed with and without to see how many more clicks (if any) are obtained through their use.

 

[Erik S]

how many clicks

Three.

 

[chris.knudson]

@eh là bas ma What about these? They're both a white plastic washer and a red LED all wrapped into one.

 

[chris.knudson]

And what about the good old standard red led ?

I prefer the infrared LEDs.

 

[KR Sound]

I prefer the infrared LEDs.

I’m using white plastic LEDs from now on.
