    @Weirdy cheers for the diagram buddy! I might give the other idea a crack, but either will be fine

    @Brendan you just wait mate, you just wait...

    You will have to be careful that the LEDs are isolated from the actual pickup circuit. You could very easily create a permanent distortion effect, especially if the circuit put the diodes into a push-pull arrangement. Diodes in that arrangement were the basis of the original distortion pedals (like the MXR Distortion+). And apparently LEDs add a real brittle, buzzy edge to the distortion. This is why the LEDs in effects pedals have to be a separate circuit.

    Lawry and Weirdy in the same room, drinking beer and designing stuff?

    That could be dangerous... probably end up perfecting the Brown Note weapon!
    Lawry and Weirdy, please report to the naughty room.....

    Countermanded..... Weirdy has a 12 month Naughty Room exemption for sorting out my 6 way switching drama

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Pest why are you going to the naughty room ? I don't remember you using any banned products or shopping at the big green building ? We will have to set up a corner for under 18's that doesn't have any access to the beer on tap !

    There is a sound proofed cupboard under the stairs for under 18 pests who get sent to the Naughty Room....
