Adding a led to neovibe

Hi,
I built a Neovibe and I want to add a led, I have 3PDT of cousre...
I don't sure If it will be OK to conect the led as I used to do it with 9V pedals, becouse now I'm using 24V adaptor with the neo vibe.
So can I connect the led just like with a 9V pedal ?
Or should I use another value of ressistor with it ?
Thanks,
Nuts.

I ran a wire from the spare O (output) pad at the regulator. That's 15vDC.

Remember, the Neovibe will accept AC or DC power supplies of varying voltages, so if you run it from the regulator you always know what to expect. I think I used 2.7k limiting resistors.

If you look on the picture below, you'll see an orange wire underneath one of the large power filtering caps at the top left; that's the 15v line:



It runs underneath the PCB to a little square of perfboard with three current limiting resistors, one for each of the chorus/vibrato indicator LEDs and one for the bypass LED.

Alternatively, you can connect it up to pulsate with the speed of the LFO (and still switch off when bypassed). I forget where I made this connection right now, but do a search for it.
