Hey guys,

In my eternal tinkering I thought it might be cool to add an LED to my amp so I can tell when the "boost" button is switched in or out.  It's virtually impossible to tell on stage and it's a pain for me to have to get one foot away from the amp to see it.  Here's the schem showing the section of the amp with the boost switch, it looks like one pole of the DPDT is unused, but I can't figure out why all the leads are connected like they are.  Can I cut those traces and use the switch to power a bicolor LED? I'm sure I could find 12v somewhere close by to tap into.
