General Questions / Re: Blue Steel LED

Last post by madbean - January 03, 2026, 02:16:07 AM

That is correct. You will need to manually wire a CLR if you are not using one of the bypass boards. Most of the designs since 2024 are set up this way to make all the drill spots for the LEDs consistent (16mm to the left of the 3PDT). If you want a bypass board, I'm happy to drop one in the mail to you, no charge.

General Questions / Blue Steel LED

Last post by greysun - January 03, 2026, 02:02:05 AM

Dumb question - I just got a couple blue steel boards.

I did not get any boards for 3PDT switches and was just going to wire it "classic" - which makes me think that I need to manually add a resistor with the LED, where it used to be on the main board and is no longer (or at least so far as I can see in the schematic).

Can someone verify please?

There is a general template in the VFE bypass doc. It works for all the older VFE builds. I don't recall if I ever made one for the Tayda drill service but I certainly can.

Were these ever done?  I was going to re-house the Distortion 3 and have no template and the original enclosure looks like it.
Thanks

I found some info

printable drill template for those who may need. LED is 3mm. I'm stuffing this tonight and already drilled but this isn't 100% verified, yet
