Stupid Pedalboard Lighting question

[multi_s]

Be careful with that led strip! The controller thingy is most certainly controlling the leds via PWM. That can induce noise. Like, terrible loud noise.

Ya but PWM or otherwise it is running on its own supply so im not sure how the noise would get to your pedals (unless you have some magic eye/ldr pedals of course ). Alternatively, if the supply itself doesn't play nice in your power bar you can always replace it with something better quality. My friend runs his on teh same power bar as 2 turntables a mixer with no noticeable impact, but i guess ymmv.

edit: you can actually see them in the background of this video he made at around 0:35. psychedelic.

I bet you can cut that 5 meter strip, of course anything after the cut won't work but it's pretty cheap?

ya totally. iirc every couple of LEDS there is a dashed line on the strip it to indicate where to do so safely.

I just found a way to do this on the cheeps. Buy this in the length you need:

And bam! Cut off the battery snap, solder on the barrel plug, and you've got a daisy-chain light-strip
Then you just mount that on whatever you want. If you're feeling lazy a coat hanger and some twist ties would probably work. I'm going to make something slightly fancier/sturdier.

This is what I meant. If you run it on a daisy-chain like a onespot or something it might give you noise issues. You might not notice it with turntables/mixers, but with high gain pedals it might become audible.

I stumbled accross this whilst reading about Lightningboy Fx:

Looked cumbersome but seemed to do the job.

What about lighting candles all around your pedalboard in a semi-circle?

Surely you meant a Pentagram

Oh, yeah, sorry, that is indeed what I meant.

I usually use this as a template for placing the candles:
