Using GGG Arbiter Fuzzface PNP Positive Ground Layout With 3pdt & LED Indicator : http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=101&Itemid=26#dallas

I Decided No To Put In A DC Jack & Was Wondering About Where To Solder A Wire That Was Connected To The DC Jack In The Layout , The Wire That Would Go To The Bottom If You Were Looking At The Jack In The Diagram , ( 5th wire from the right on the board as Your Looking At The Layout ) Also , Was Wondering About The LED indicator as well , One wire with the resistor attached would go to the switch & tha other to the sleeve of the output jack , Is This Correct ? Any Help Would Be Great !

Thanks ,

If your not using a DC jack, you can leave that black (-9v) wire off that went from the DC jack.

Just connect the battery clip with the black wire going to the circuit board as shown, and the red wire(+9v) going to the ring of the TRS input jack socket (Stereo Jack Socket, Tip Ring Sleeve).  When a mono jack is plugged into a stereo socket, the ring and sleeve are connected which turns the battery on.

For the LED, the resistor should be on the +9v side I think, so that means the sleeve on a PNP positive ground.
Going by the layout you pointed to this is what i'd do if using a 3PDT instead (the new extra 3 pins on the right as viewed):
1 - Put the resistor side to the top left spare hole on the circuit board (+9v)
2 - Put the led side to the switch (right center pin)
3 - Put a black wire from the switch (right top pin) to the spare -9v hole (the black D.C jack wire you left off).

I think this will work.
