Built this one based on all the positive reviews it gets here (despite the fact that I rarely use or even need a compressor for my home doodling).
I realized when testing it that I had no idea how to work this pedal, but found Thorpy's manual so now I'm squared away.
I didn't see the LEDs light up when using single coils, but with a humbucker they fire with a hard strum. I don't know how sensitive they need to be--maybe in lower light conditions it'll be a bit more active.
It does add a little something nice to the signal so can see why it's popular.
I swapped a few parts based on what I had: Used KE-10720 with red LEDs, LM833 op amp, and 2n3906/2n3904 transistors.
