Lighted pots, multiple LEDs...when is it too much?

[octa805]

Not stylistically but purely from a power standpoint?

So lets say I did a tubescreamer with 4 lighted pots, indicator LED and a lit baseplate. Would that draw too much power from the circuit and lessen the effect?

Thanks!!

Only if you run it off batteries. Most all power supplies would be okay. Probably.

hmm. Ok. I was wondering if different circuits had higher current draws as well.

Basically I want to make an obnoxious light show but not if I have to sacrifice sound.

Man that sounds awesome. Post a photo when you're done. Talk about a fireball on your pedal board. You won't be able to look directly at happy fun ball for sure.
