Pedal is working and sounds good...all controls work fine.

*Proper 12v has been applied. (ACA pedal)
*happens w/ both external power & 9v Battery.

The ONLY thing that is not working is the LED does not light up when pedal activated.

Things I've tried...
*Changed out the LED for various other LEDs...Still issue remains.
*changed out D3...did not fix issue. Then installed it back.

Check the 3k9 series resistor (R40) in the LED circuit (may be crack open) and wiring as well.

Can you measure the voltage at the LED changing when switching?
- Are you a mod or a rocker?
- Uh, no, I'm a mocker.
