Am working on a PNP version of a germanium fuzz face (w/Fuller's '69 mods). Will be using a 3PDT stomp switch for true bypass with LED.
I've come across two variations of switch wiring, and I'm not clear which might be better. Seeking your wisdom & recommendations.
1) Tonepad's suggested wiring: http://www.tonepad.com/getFile.asp?id=76 (see "Offboard Wiring 5" page)
2) FuzzCentral's suggested wiring: http://fuzzcentral.ssguitar.com/faq/switchwiringpnp.gif, similar to GGG's
Which one is more likely to work well for this project?
I noticed that the resistor values for the LED also vary -- 1K vs. 2.2K. Specific value here isn't a big deal, right? Just need some resistance to keep the LED from blowing up? (I'm planning to use either a red or blue superbright...) Higher value = dimmer light but less current draw, no?
Thanks in advance.
