Help with adding LED indicator with DPDT foot switch

Good evening everybody.

I've been working on a Big Muff clone for a friend. More specifically a Big Muff inspired by the Tym Effects Fuzz Munchkin. I have everything working and sounding as I want, but am having trouble with getting the LED for the boost switch to come on.

I've attached both a picture of the build as well as the schematic I drew up for it.

Basically the DPDT foot switch is at the end of the circuit after the coupling capacitor, choosing if the signal goes out to the 100K volume pot or a 160K resistor, before going out to the output jack. I'd like to have an LED come on when the 160K resistor is stomped on, but can seem to only get it to either replace the LED for the rest of the circuit or come on and off in with the main LED.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Cool, I think this makes sense to me. I'll give it a try tonight. Thank you!
