Delegate Boneyard Edition Question...

[MichaelW]

Hey smart folks, gathering my bits and pieces for this build.

What are the "optional D6-D7" led pads for?

I couldn't find any mention of them in the threads I've read. Also what color is recommended?

TIA!!!

Thank you! I missed that thread in my search somehow.

Second silly question: The BOM calls for 2x 3mm Red Led's for D1 and D2.
I cannot for the life of me find a D1 or D2 on the board (physical or the graphic).

Looking at the schematic and examining the traces of the board itself, it looks like what the BOM refers to as "D1-D2" is actually the aforementioned D6 & D7. Is this right?

Thanks again @benny_profane!

You're correct. The schematic, BOM, and refdes are not entirely consistent.

Awesome thanks again!

Those LEDs are optional. They limit the peak signal during a strong attack, such as hitting thr strings hard with SUSTAIN turned up. Without those LEDs, the opamp saturates which doesn't sound all that good.
