If it works, use it

[petemoore]

  Wait 'till it breaks before opening the unit.
   I realize this type of language can illicit defiance and an intractable urge to modify. With care, modification with immunity from damage is possible...how many times has this theory gone wrong ?
  Remember: what starts as a want for a brighter LED indicator sometimes ends up producing a pedal [and indicator] that doesn't even work at all and may be expensive to replace.
   Part of the reason for my defiance stemmed from the learning experiences gained from taking apart things that worked, if I hadn't broken them, I'd never have figured out what made them stop ticking...hence learning some things about what makes things 'tick' !
  Suggestion: if you'll miss it and it's expensive to replace...practice guitar or something else you can do besides mod it, maybe build a second one to mess around with first.

As the homily says, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Kinda reminds me of a friend's alarm clock in college. It's bit fuzzy now what the original problem was but it definitely did not work after I opened it up. Probably my first smoke test.
