Dr. Phybes v4 mod questions.

[Steve]

Just finished the pedal with the 2 stage/4 stage option and also the oscillating rate LED that was a listed option in the previous version.
2 questions:
1. Is there anyway to configure the circuit, for the LED, so that will turn it off when the pedal is by-passed? I read the instruction a little closer and realize that is the way the mod works but…
2. I changed the speed pot to a C100k, an option that was mentioned in previous versions, however this version on page 2, of the v4 build doc, it says to use an A100k pot. Just curious if that is a typo? The C100k that I used sounds and functions beautifully and I am going to leave it unless there is something I am really missing out on.
By the way, the pedal is out of the box getting read for graphics, so any changes would be easily accessible at this time.
Thank you, in advance, for your time.

Hi, it seems easy, just wire the LED direct on the footswitch using only half of it (or source another single color LED), just like any “standard” pedal.
Also you should have a look at the “LED rate mod” in the forum.

Thanks Chris!
I read a lot of the posts and after reading Barry’s explanation as to why it was always on, I have agree with him. I don’t like it aesthetically, but functionally, it make sense.
