I am very confused as to the wiring of the John Hollis Ring Frobnicator at GEOFX. I have everything wired up except the millenium bypass and LED. The layout shows one wire from the DPDT switch to the millenium board and the LED mounted to the effects board. I can't get it to work. Please help and thank you for your time!

Also what is the orientation of the 2 leds mounted side by side on the effects board? Thanks again!

I've built that unit twice now one on perfboard and one I etched the board both times nothing, I've done the search on that pedal tried  the diode thing in series with the led's and still nothing, no sound, I'm basicly calling it quit's on that pedal for now, also from what I've read from other's, its not a good sounding ring modulator anyways, but I guess the tremolo is nice, anyways I've moved on and gonna try a take on the green ringer,
what kills me is why would someone go through the trouble of making a layout ,schematic,whole documentation on a design that doesn't work?, every layout that I do I would never post if I did'nt make it and prove it was successful,
anyways good luck,
JR
