Electrovibe indicator led mods

[The Gator]

I dont remember how the original led above the speed switch worked.
Does one set of contacts on the speed switch decided whether it is on or not?

Sorry for the question. I'm working on an improved indicator light idea for my electrovibe (improved for my purpose anyway)
Thank you

UPDATE 8/16/2023: I no longer recommend a lot of this stuff. In my opinion, there are better levers to pull and I have documented them here: The Monk Face: A Modernized Univibe With that said, let's discuss what I think are the most impactful and basic mods: 1.) Change R4 to 4.7M and Change...

This may be the mod you need "RateLED" https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/electrovibe-modifications-thread.8703/post-115182

Well I did the LFO LED mod on my build, along with adding a red/blue led indicator off an extra set of contacts on the chorus/ vibe switch.
I am going to combine all of it into two bicolor leds. One for each speed knob and the red/blue will indicate which chorus/vibe setting it is on. All of it powered of the LFO as well so that is indicating speed as well.
Of course cutting some traces on the speed switch will be required. The rest of it I believe I have figured out on a bread board using some tricolor common anode leds (not using the green) and switches.

I do appreciate the responses. I was just being lazy when I asked the question

Is it possible to see how you did the lfo thing with a picture?

 

[The Gator]

I will look. I think I have an image of my version of the mod on the schematic.
It might actually already be posted in Big Monk's electrovibe modifications thread.
Which I consider the starting place for educating oneself on the subject.

does that make sense?


Edit: what do you consider to be the best option regarding the ldr's?

 

[The Gator]

Yeah I believe that would work.
Here is the post in the thread I was talking about.

My thing ended up working, not like yours but it work. I had to tap the K to one ground to make it flicker all the time otherwise it was off on the speed 1

I just did the mpsa13 switch for Q1 and Q2 and it just makes the light bulb stall... idk why
for the rest I went for the mpsa13 on the last Q, 3904's and the ledrate.
