Hi everyone!
I'm planning to begin work on a couple of Madbean Wigl boards and I had a quick question about the two "indicator" LEDs:
If I only want to use a SINGLE indicator LED and I want to have it flash in time with the rate setting, can I omit "LED1" completely and then run the "LED2" cathode to the "-" trace for "LED1" instead of the "LED2" cathode trace (hopefully my point is a LOT clearer than my words appear to make it!!!)?
Thanks,

Is this something I should have posted in "General Questions" rather than here in "Beginner's Paradise"?
it should work as you described it. I wouldn't bother soldering the - leg of D2 to the - pad of D1. you can just directly wire the - leg of D2 to the stomp switch, on the lug you would usually connect to the L pad (the one getting grounded when effect is engaged)
Thanks for the confirmation...and the soldering tip. I was just thinking that keeping the LED connections on the PCB and using a wire connection to the 3pdt switch would help tidy up my usual rat's nest of wires and bare leads!
