Electronics question (probably stupid)

[StingRayBoy42]

As per the title, this is no doubt an extremely silly question so apologies in advance.

I have LED strips on my pedalboard, controlled by one of these

to change the colour of the LEDs.
 

I also have a Boss LS-2 to swich between FX loops.

Is there any way to change the LED colour when I change the FX loop on the LS-2?

So loop A (green light) - LEDs go green, loop B (red light) LEDs go red. No loop - LEDs go white.

Utterly stupid and pointless... it'd be good though, wouldn't it?!

The expensive solution involves slave-labour and someone either loved-up or idiotic enough to sit at your feet onstage waiting for you to call out "Green!", "Red!", or White!""

 

...the cheap solution only requires some gaffer-tape and some spare space on your pickguard for the IR keyboard

I knew you guys would come up with a workable solution!

Isn't slave labour supposed to be free?

You're forgetting operating costs (providing food, clothing, accommodation, etc.) - and it's definitely not free to make the initial purchase

 

...allegedly!

As the signal is being sent three different ways there should be a way to add stuff. I doubt there is the will though.

Yes, forget about the remote, you just need to modify the LS-2 to output R, G, and B signals at 5V to the terminal at the end of the LED strip.
