I wonder will having them on different power source mean you could get away with those noisy multi color flashing LEDs

Actually you can easily use these in pedals by adding an electrolytic capacitor in parallel reversed to the LEDs polarity. I can't remember the value I used on a pedal I made with this but the larger the cap (value) more noise it filters until it's actually inaudible.  Here's the LEDs I bought:

Forget Charlie Sheen.  This pedal is WINNING.  That's just amazing, and I want to make one.
Cheers for comments, yes this is more on drugs and more ridiculous than Sheen... and a better laugh too I reckon'.... less annoying and you can store it away when you've seen enough of it for a while... stompboxes rule...

Love the pedal!  The only thing is, Vaders light saber wasn't blue, it was red.  :P

So true, and admittedly I wasn't thinking of Star Wars when I made it, I just thought it's a somewhat good title for this thread..

... next thing I'm aiming for will be some pedal with a real working flux capacitor in there, now which colour was that again and what was the power requirement?!? 1.3 jiggawatt I remember or so...?
Back to the good old days.... 8)

This is hilarious.  I bet it was a blast just drilling all the holes for that enclosure, haha.

Nice build, i wanted to do one similar to this, but it just seemed too silly to devote the time to, but you've caused me to amend that idea.

BTW,
Just because I know this doesn't make me less of a man, does it?
It was from the Ting-Tings video, "That's not my name", the song you love to hate.
