I want an 'on' LED putting in my DOD 250. Whom?

Hey folks.

I'm very clumsy and I keep hitting my DOD 250 accidentally when going for my tuner. Because there's no led, the only way to tell if it's on is to play, not ideal at a gig.

I'd like a light putting in so that I can tell when it's on the same as any other pedal. Can you recommend anyone to do this in the UK please?

Just in case there are any problems violating the commercial user's policy: if [u]you[/u] are able to do it for me, by all means please put your own name forward.


Thanks,
Jack

Wow, here I has all set to take your advice, but the reissues are £90!!

I'd considered putting it in a loop actually, but I am already really short of pedalboard space. Thanks for your help guys, I might just have to hold out for a used one.

Martin Owen at Owen Electronics will probably be able to sort this for you and I would expect it to cost less than a second hand replica.

Plus whatever value you lose off it being an 'original unmodded' DOD. Of course this doesn't matter to some people, which is cool, just saying :)

Looking at the bay, unmodded early ones are going for between 50 and 120 USD. One with a led added sold for 145 USD. So I am not convinced that it would lose money.

I guess poodle probably has a kit which would be the cheapest of all?

Or cheaper still, build one from scratch.

Will this do? :)
I generally use a 330R resistor rather than 1K as I like my LEDs bright.

I was going to suggest cloning one. Something like this:

I know all pedals are the same, but the idea of charging £90 for a few pence worth of resistors and caps is crazy. You see those circuit diagrams and wonder why we bother don't you?

Purchase all the parts (high quality parts), time yourself building it (what do you like to be paid per hour?), do the internals appear a standard that you'd be happy to pay for?
Decorate the enclosure to a degree that you'd be happy to purchase from a shop etc.........

How much did it cost you in total? ;)
