I'm sure this has been asked before but I have searched and searched and I just can't seem to find any info on how to wire a Neovibe with a 3pdt and an LED?

Here's how I did it...Using the DPDT wiring shown in the project's PDF as a reference, the "extra" pole from a DP3T goes like this:

Top: Pad 'X'
Middle: Ground
Bottom: Starting at the switch it goes, LED => resistor => unused pad from the voltage regulator pin 'o'

The LED is wired from the voltage regulator output. There is an extra pad there to accomdate either the 7815 or the 78L15. I have the top wired to pad 'X' so that when the pedal is in bypass mode, the incandescent lamp stops blinking. I did this to hopefully increase the life of the bulb, especially if I don't unplug it every time.
