Has anyone ever used a dimmable LED bulb to express voltage / signal presence / G.R.? I'm toying with a 500 series build which would benefit from some basic / not-super-crucial metering, but (cough, 500 series) space is a consideration.
So I was thinking of maybe just using one 3mm LED with a good range of luminescence that would react differently depending on voltage present.... a faint green for receiving a bare minimum threshold all the way up to "JFC my EYES" if it's overloaded.
If anyone's tried this or has any reco's? I really would like to have in/gr/out metered in a simple, tactile way - but it's more for a quick visual reference than actual measurement (i mean, this is a 'one knob comp' with a switchable soft clipper.... it's not exactly mastering grade.
