Goodnight to all, built and fired up the new forumvibe board, got it to work first try, I just want help to figure out two things.how do I hook up leds to the chorus/vibrato switch to indicate which mode its in, and how to hook up the led for a rate indicator?

R.G.

(1) you use a physical switch with one more set of contacts than are really needed to do the chorus/vibrato switch, and use that section of switching to switch the LED current.
(2) look at the UVICS/Son of UVICS stuff at geofex for several ways to get an LED to blink with the LFO in this circuit. They all involve putting the LED either in series with the lamp or in parallel with a resistor which is in series with the lamp.

In response to the questions in the forum - PCB Layout for Musical Effects is available from The Book Patch. Search "PCB Layout" and it ought to appear.
