[img][IMG]http://i40.tinypic.com/dn253o.jpg[/img][/img]Image wired to the bottom of the board on the jack lugs, this will not work with a straight up LED light. there needs to be a resistor or the pedal will switch presets on it's own. I tried this first and it didn't work out, I used a prewired LED bulb that I bought with the resistor built in, I am a novice when it comes to resistors but I am learning slowly, The color code on the resistor I used is Orange, Orange, Black, Black, Brown, this seemed to do the trick and the pedal is still fully functional, If you plan on doing this proceed at your own risk. With The Resistor it worked for me and added a little bit of asthetic value to the pedal.

first pic is double tagged ...

So, the light goes from bright to dim depending on which pedal you press? Or is that just how the pics turned out?

the light stays at the same intensity, it's just 2 different camera angles,. when I press a button on the switch the light shuts off and then comes back on, there is a small current that runs from the 1/4" jack into the pedal, pressing the button on the switch interrupts the current and that is what sends the signal to the amp.
