And then where do I connect the cathode leg of the led?

I don't know why I always struggle with this but how should I wire the LED for the Slow Loris 2014 build? Which leg of the LED should go into the board pad labeled LED and where does the other LED leg get attached to? Just to clarify, I do have the current limiting resistor, R11, on the board. I'm sorry about these stupid questions.

Thx

Would it be ok to 'wire' the pots in the Zero Point and put it into a larger enclosure? I'd like to space out the knobs a little and maybe use full size ones instead of the suggested plastic ones. (I have no reason to believe that I can't but I'm still new at this and don't want to leave anything to chance).

That's a relief! That's how I did it but then I saw that on diodes, the square pad aligns with the cathode.

Thanks!

How should I align the 2 led's on the Slow Loris build. Does the square pad represent '+' round pad represent '-'?

Thx!

Is there polarity to a spdt on/on switch? I'm building the '14 Slow Loris and the board seems to have markings for polarity (one hole has the square around it).

Is your Tonebender project 'positive ground'?

Are the 2 standard wiring diagrams just 2 different ways to wire a pedal or does each one pertain to a certain type of pedal?

Thx

Edit. I think I figured it out. Thanks!!

I'm doing the Tonebender project and I was wondering if it matters how I wire the LED: using the general wiring diagram or connecting it directly to the LED pads on the pcb?

Thanks very much! I have no idea where I got that from.

In the parts list R1 is listed as 100k but I made a note that this should be 100 ohm instead. I can't remember where I got that from. Is that true?

Thx

Newb question-- what does the brown tracing on the PCB layouts represent in the build guides?

Oops! Inexpensive lesson. Thanks guys!
