I've seen a few pedalboard pics on here that had Dunlop Bricks with blue LEDs as opposed to mine which has a red. Is there any difference between the two? |

- Red for locrian
- Green for ionian
- Yellow for aeolian
- Amber for dorian
- Pink for lydian
- White for phrygian

1. Get a blue LED of the same dimensions as the red.
2. Desolder red LED, observing orientation
3. Solder in blue LED, maintaining orientation
4. Assemble brick
Now, blue and red leds have different forward voltage, so you will get different current, and probably different intensity.
