Adding LED's to Mark III Footswitch

[pdub]

Hi there. I am new to this list. So hello!

I recently got my 1985 Mark III going again. I have long lost the original footswitches it came with. I have a dual fottswitch I am using to switch between Clean / Lead and Rhythm / Lead modes. I'd like to add LED's to this for visual feedback. I called Mesa about this but they don't have time to explain. Perhaps someone here has some experience with this?

The switches that I am using are DPDT so there is an an unused pole that could switch an LED. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Charles.

Hey, thank you for posting this pic. I have been looking EVERYWHERE for this as I got rid of my footswitch, as I used a Midi device to switch channels, and now back to just a switch that I had to build.

You save a brutha, Thanks!
