Favorite pedal LED color?
Recently I got a Fromel DIG and it had a deep purple LED - my mind was blown. I was so used to red...but man oh man, the deep, mesmerizing purple LED is just plain sexy.

Now I've an UP! with a silver/white LED that is sweet too...

What's yours?

I like really bright blue LED's, as blue is my favorite color. I've never had a pedal with a purple LED though.

Some people hate bright LED's and cover them up with tape.

I don't know if you've a need for one, or even if they all are like this, but my Durham Sex Drive had a blue LED so intense you could signal aircraft in broad daylight with it.

Never seen, that is to say been blinded by, anything like it.

I like super bright white ones that blind you.

White or Blue. So far all of my DIY or modded pedals are white or blue LED equipped. Soon my board will be covered in them.

Anything but bright blue. They are blinding on a dark stage and make it difficult to see knob settings. They are just overkill for a gigging.

Really depends on the pedal color. I'm weird like that. I'll be doing a rehouse for a friend soon that will have a purple led.

I love the blue led's. They are my favorite. My daughter loves the blue too, especially on the Swamp Thang cause it pulsates.

Don't care as long as I can see it! Not a big concern as I only use 4-5 pedals.

I could see how having a big board with the potential of a lot of blinding blue LED's ON at the same time (or switching around in the middle of songs...) could really be a PITA

Light green.

I HATE the blue LEDs, they blind me and even make me nauseous.
