Just got some PCBs back and seems i have routed the ins and out for the relay backwards which means the LED now lights when in bypass and not when effect is engaged. I've been thinking about this for a while and i can't see a simple way around this, am i being stupid? Is there a fix that doesn't require trace cutting and jumpers?

I've lifted the side of the 2k2 reisistor which goes to ground and instead tied it to +9v, now with the LED flipped it works as it should.
Am i at risk of damaging anything though? I can't see how but i'd rather double check

Cheers
