SOLVED All my LED's only work backwards

[eliosvanpizza]

Hello, I've built a Kliche Mini (success) Muffler Noise Gate (failure) and a Cobalt Drive (success).

for all three of those pedals, the LED only works when I reverse the leads- they work with the long lead through the circle and the short lead through the square.

I am following the wiring diagram exactly as written in the build information, but I noticed that my 9V jacks are kinda inverted from what is showed on the diagram. in the diagram the center lug of the jack is positioned higher than the left lug where the positive wire goes. On my jacks, the left lug is positioned higher and the center lug is lower.

Could this be why my LED's are backwards? These are the 9V input jacks I am using SKU# A-2237 on Tayda

Don't get your knickers twisted in a bunch, it's a just an LED.

Also does anybody here go commando or do you always use a bezel?

I use bezels but I feel like they come out too far. I have to find low profile ones. They look odd when they stick out like they do. I’ve used the 5mm ones from tayda.

I’ve gone commando quite a few times.
In all seriousness I think it looks good without a bezel as long as the drill hole for the led is smaller than the led so it’s not protruding. I don’t particularly like that look.

This convo is going to take a turn for the worse….

Going to?
