Adding a Led to Rectoverb Combo switching pedal

[guitarKNG]

Hi,

I am the owner of a Rectoverb Combo series 1, and I would like to add a led to my reverb switch on the switching pedal, just like the rythm and solo channels have...any ideas?

Thanks

It really is ridiculous that they didn't put an LED in there to start with.

I'd like to hear how this could be done also.

You would have to put the LED between the switch and one of the wires...not sure which wire though. There should be two wires on the switch. I'm also not sure of the voltage rating of the LED. You could check the other ones and see if they have some sort of rating on them, and find one that is the same, or close.

Has anyone been able to do this?

My take is:
Open the foot switch -
Identify wire controlling reverb -
Splice the LED into place -
Drill hole into foot switch for LED -
Install LED -
Switch away!

The switch when depressed is most likely providing the ground for the reverb.

You have to provide power to the LED. So you need (I think...) a battery and new switch (DPDT). . .
