Kind of a newbie question I guess, but what's the best method of doing this? I'm fairly new to building, only built a fuzz so far, but I'd LOVE for the LFO LED that flashes on the LRD to be mounted on the front of the pedal as an indicator to the current speed of the effect. I've been lurking for a few days trying to read up, and I haven't seen any discussions as to how to do this and still have the LED effectively flash on the LDR. Any point in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Okay, I've done some more thinking, and PLEASE someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I know what to do to accomplish what I want. All together there will be 3 LED's! The first will be electrical taped/shrink tubed (I only just heard about shrink tube researching this project) in with the photo-resistor. The Second will be wired up to the 3pdt switch and +9v as just a solid surface-mounted on/off indicator, and the THIRD will be my surface-mounted LFO indicator, and I'll try what dann said in another thread a while back

If you still want two LEDs, one to flash to the tempo and one to indicate bypass, you'll have to put a jumper on the board across the two "middle" holes of the bypass switch connector. Do this jumper instead of running the two wires to the bypass stomp. This jumper will make the LFO LED stay on.
Then, use the extra row on the bypass switch to wire up an indicator LED. Wire V+ to the LED anode, then the LED cathode to the stomp, then the stomp to a 1k, and the 1k to ground.

I'm hoping this works.
