Post by: slingshotmb on November 14, 2006, 05:15:53 PM
sorry for being the annoying noob of the day. im interested in mods and building my own effects.i do have soldering experience and i shouldnt have any problems once i get more knowledge and learn the terminology..so far i tore down a YJM308 and im going to TB it and add a led.
So where do i find out how to hookup the led to the new switch and that kind of stuff. thanks mike b.

Jay is right, there's lots of info to read just in the links at the top.
You may also check out the wiring layouts on www.generalguitargadgets.com
if you haven't already. They are very graphical and shows the typical LED/3PDT wiring.

I like JD's method of wiring an LED/3PDT because it grounds the effect input when bypassed.

There is also the Beginners Project forum to check out.

And all the links at the bottom of www.smallbearelec.com page
Good luck and welcome to the forum!
