Hi

so why is that?, Millenium circuit ( http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh174/arma61/1000BP.jpg )

it works with red LED, but  if I change the LED to a yellow one, than it's always on, slightly change (more light) when effect is engaged. I think it has something to do with voltage rating of the yellow one, but  I don't have a clue on how to solve it.

thx 4 help m8s

Are you sure that the ONLY change you make is red for yellow and vice versa?

In response to the questions in the forum - PCB Layout for Musical Effects is available from The Book Patch. Search "PCB Layout" and it ought to appear.

thx RG, yes that's the only thing I've changed, now I've found that if I leave the switch on the table it turns off (99%) and if I touch the switch it turns on (bad contact? my body badly grounded?!), so I've mounted it into the enclosure and it works, at least is very hard to see that it's on when the effect is bypassed.

thx
