Do people here prefer 5mm or 3mm for ON/OFF indicator?
I've check some build in the Build Reports Forum and it looks it depends of the builder or the pedal itself...
How do you handle the noise the micro-CPU injects into the audio? I built a Luna Fuzz with transparent-shafted pots and used those color-cycling LEDs beneath the pots to illuminate th transparent shafts with transparent knobs. I could hear the micro-CPU noise as the colors cycled thru their changes. To correct that, I used a 0.1nF cap across each of the power supply lines on the PCBs on which the transparent-shafted pots and color cycling LEDs were mounted. Have experienced this micro-CPU noise?I got a bag and of cool colour changing (RGBY) ones from a similarly unknown source, they’re pretty sweet!
Without a µCPU, I wonder how they actuate the color cycling? Do they auto-cycle with just two legs, or do yours have 4 legs? I have both and the ones with 4 legs do not auto-cycle. If they have two legs and auto-cycle the colors, there is very likely some sort of µCPU in them.I’m not sure the ones I have are micro chipped, they look exactly like any other 5mm LED I have.
There’s 2 legs. They were a random cheap eBay buy.
