How would one go about wiring an on/off led, that does not pulse or change the tone of a neovibe? I'm timid about messing with this pedal.

assuming you know how to wire up a normal 3pdt footswitch (like any madbean build), pretty easy. the GGG / geofex project uses an AC power supply, so you can tap power off the rectified power rail (after the bridge rectifier but before the output 15V). it's noisy power, but it's just the LED so it won't matter. i would tap it off one of the big power filter caps.

then just use a current limiting resistor, the value will depend on how bright you want. a 4.7k resistor would work with a colored lens type and would be pretty darn bright, though you'd probably want go larger if you're using ultra bright.
