LEDs - source to buy?
 

Can anyone recommend a source for LEDs that would work well in pedals?
Need small 9VDC LEDs for a custom pedal build.

Smallbear has a good selection but you have to use a resistor I have not seen a 9v led. Radio shack has a few but you will have a more limited color selection.

Allied Electronics. But you don't need 9V LEDs, that's just ridiculous.

I get all mine local. Do you have any specialty electronics retailers/wholesalers around you?

I muse mammothelectronics.com


Also regarding the 9v led, you don't need one. Just get whatever the normal voltage is that's offered at allied, smallbear, and mammoth, then use a current limiting resistor to lower the voltage.

there's like a million online electronics parts stores where you can get all sorts of leds (and pots, and knobs, and...) for dirt cheap. tayda and jameco come to mind first.

got it. I'll check them out.
