I have a Bigshot xyb passive switch.  I originally thought that not having an led to tell me where I was was not going to be a big deal.  I was wrong.  Has anyone had any success in adding an led to this switch?  If so, and you are willing to share with this newbie diy effects assembler I would really appreciate it.   - Jeff

That was the main reason I sent mine back...I did take it apart first though...  ::)
I learned that there was NO battery - totally passive (no wonder the level drops so substantially when the transformer is engaged...) and there wasn't a lot of room for a battery or a DC jack...  If you're feeling industrious, all you'd need to do is swap the DPDT's for 3PDT's and find a place to add an DC power jack...  maybe someone else here could recommend a small form factor battery to power your LEDs...

Happy hacking!

I have ordered the parts to make a few mill. 2 bypasses for some other stompboxes I have.  Would it be possible to use one of these on the dpdt switch that is in the bigshot aby?
