Beginner question about an LED listed as RLED 4K7

[kylewetton]

Hey team, so just a quick question about my next build. I'm seeing the bill of materials says "RLED 4K7", is this just a standard 3mm LED on Tayda or should i be looking for something specific?

I'd say it's a 4,7k ohm (4k7) current limiting resistor for the LED. Also known as CLR. Can you post an example?

For a led you can choose any you wish: 3mm, 5mm, 8mm, 10mm, etc...

For resistor choose any value that doesn't blind you. I've used 4k7s on ultrabrights, and learned you should check the brightness on a breadboard and pick whatever resistance brings it down to a tolerable level; the pedal doesn't need to be seen from the space station.

That might refer to a 4.7k resistor for the indicator led

edit: oops didn’t see @temol ’s post above

Thanks, you can find what I mean here: https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/MuffinFuzz.pdf

I'm seeing here now that it's a resistor, however interestingly enough I'm not seeing where LED actually goes, what am I missing?
