SOLVED LED always on

So, I built this Aion FX Flare (Fuzz Factory) a few months ago and love the sound. The problem I had was that the LED never came on. Well I revisited the pedal today and realized that the Aion breakout board had snapped the connection between the LEDR and the 9v power wire. Either way, with that in mind I rigged up the LED separate from the breakout board and now it’s constantly on even after switching of the effect. I checked if there was continuity between the top/center and bottom/center of the breakout board for bypass and effect on and there was. Not sure where to go next with it. Thanks in advance.

I think you need to find the correct pad on the 3PDT, one that is connected to ground (or 9V+LEDR) when the circuit is turned on, and disconnected when turned off.

The led needs both 9V (with led resistor) and ground to light up. If at least one of them is disconnected when the circuit is turned off, that should fix it.
