The problem is that my led trick by analog alchemy is burning led, all the wires are in right place and led is oriented right.

I dont know what you LED trick is.......

But if your LED is burning out you are putting more than current than its happy with through it END OF!

do you mean your indicator led? are you putting a resistor in series with it?

If you're using a 3PDT switch... have you connected a pull-up resistor? If you haven't... that's the reason why you're burning your LEDs... just in case, I use a 4.7k resistor, and it works perfectly.

effects connection (http://www.effectsconnection.com/oscommerce/) also sells LEDs with resistor included for pretty cheap.
