I have used a Pedal PCB board and that worked just fine on my Mach One overdrive. But I was gifted a pedal kit from another company and am having trouble understanding what each connection does because they are labeled differently (and a bonus LED question).
On the PCB itself, there are six slots at the bottom: IN, CTRL, GND, LED+, LED-, BP, OUT.
The 3PDT board has these: IN, FXIN, LED, GND, FXOUT, OUT.
I cannot find a schematic for this board on the other company's site, maybe they've either updated their board or sent me a new one and haven't updated the listing online yet. Either way, what connects to what? And a brief explanation would be welcome as I'm trying to learn, not just have someone do my homework for me.
Also, on my first build, the LED light is blinding. As I understand it, I can use something like a 3k9 resistor on one of the legs of a red LED, I can dim that a bit? But maybe more importantly, how does the LED wire from this PCB board to the 3PDT board? Am I right in imagining that maybe I send two wires out from the PCB to the LED and those also connect to the 3PDT switch? Does the LED itself go inbetween the PCB and 3PDT board, or can it come off one or the other once they're connected? This one's just less clear to me than the PPCB build I have already done, and I've spent some time reading up again this afternoon and still can't quite seem to understand these labels and what connects to what for what reason.
Thank you!
