This LED is very easy to use, it's like plug and play. It can be powered by 12V, optional 9V but not as bright. But as you can see, 9V is bright enough. It's powered by my 1spot, with all of my pedals.
Friggity frack... Powered by 1-Spot you say?! I just happen to have one last open spot on my 1-Spot on my main board................ *scheme scheme scheme*
Thanks for the info!

Your board would look sick with these leds geks.

I have only 8 connectors, the LED is the 9th. I had some extra from my old 1spot, cut both ends and connect. Now I have 10!
I agree your board will look sick with LED! Go for it! It's very easy!
Hmm... definitely tempted, for sure. That back wall on my old version Mini might be just the spot to put a row of lights. Hmmmmmmm.
Did you have to cut wires or anything to get that strip powered, or is it a straight up plug in and go?

You don't actually need to cut anything because the end of the strip works with 1spot. Its rubberized. But I'm just being ocd, so I did cut it and soldered one end of my extra 1spot connectors to the strip.

Hmm. Thanks again for the info! I'll do some thinking. Maybe it's time to do some pedalboard pimpage for fun.
What else could I add LED's to? Maybe a cab or two, like this guy?!

It's been posted elsewhere on TB, but my board seems to be entirely appropriate to this thread ...
A nano is about as compact as it gets (unless you build your own) and I think my nano is more stuffed than most. The small pedal/small board obsession came about because of the teeny stage that my band regularly played on. Unfortunately the teeny pedal thing has gone way beyond utility, and the overflow of 1590a format pedals (mostly mooers, a couple of lovepedals) would now fill a PT mini in addition.

I tried taking my smaller board into the studio to record, but my compressor was rather noisy. I was using a Turbo Tuner, a B7K, and my M87. Could it just be the pedal? It's never made any noise until I hit the studio.
Once or twice on tour it made a bit of noise, too. I'm half tempted to just get rid of it.

This is as close as I've come to a compact and tidy set-up and switching from a PT-2 to a Gator GPT-PWR is turning out to be a great move. A bit annoying to have an empty spot, but I'm waiting to switch the BassDriver for a VT Bass (hopefully soon) to see the available space. Would love to get an MXR pedal in there, probably a BOD.
My first attempt at using a pedalboard. I need to clean up the cables but so far..likin' it! Thinking of getting straight line couplers. Anyone have issues with those connectors?
Note the offset between the comp's out-jack and the DI box's in-jack...will the DI still fit on the board (ie - not interfere w/the power bricks' cables) with a straight connector? And some folks have said that straights can be hard on the pedal jacks in general sometimes, due to no flex-room (if that makes sense).
Some say a rigid connector between the pedals put unnecessary strain on the jacks and that it might cause something to break. I think there may be some truth to that, but on the other hand I have never heard anyone actually reporting damage. I did use them for several years and the only problem is when you want to rearrange the pedalboard it can be a pain to break the velcro on all pedals at the same time. As long as the jacks are straight and at exactly the same height I would think the slight flex of the metal tongues inside the jacks will be enough to take up any movement.
I have given up on them since my pedalboard now holds a mix of many different pedal brands and sizes, when I did use them it was all EBS with the jacks at the same height.
