Boss CH-1 Super Chorus led problem

[soupbone]

I've got a Boss CH-1 Super Chorus(ye ole' blue one),and i changed the led to a bright blue one.The led stays lit very dim before i press the switch.I've put in tons of blue led's in boss pedals with nothing like that ever happen.I changed r-58 which is part of the led.It was a 1.8k and changed it to a 3.9k to bring down the brightness.Didn't work.Anyone have any ideas?here's the schematic;http://www.freeinfosociety.com/electronics/schemview.php?id=2290

New info on the Boss CH-1 saga. I plugged a regular 9v battery in,and the dim blue bleed through from the led was gone,and was working correctly.I had it plugged in first to a 1 spot at the begining,and i though maybe the adapter?(sounds dumb huh?lol)so,i got out my boss psa adapter.Still the same thing happening!I plugged another one of my boss ch-1's and the led works fine.I'm really stumped now.W.T.H.!!

Wear sunglasses.

I never noticed before, but this circuit _will_ bleed current through the LED when "off".

Try another 3.9K directly _across_ the LED. This will leak some current, possibly more than the "off leakage" of the flip-flop. If that does something but not enough/too-much, values from 22K to 1K seem reasonable.

I have no idea why it seems different with a healthy battery.

I'll  give that a shot.Thanks Paul!

Sorry Paul,I forgot to get back with you.You're idea worked!What was weird though,When i went down in resistance it made it less bright.It should be the other way around.So,I used a 1.5kr and it worked perfectly!Thanks again!

A _series_ resistor, smaller is brighter (more current to the LED).

A _parallel_ resistor, smaller is darker (more current _around_ the LED).
