Low Tide Mini LED CLR Location Help

Howdy. Can anyone confirm which resistor(s) are associated with the LED CLR for the Low Tide Mini? I wanna bump up the default values since I use water clear LEDs so I wanna make sure I get it right especially since the big one appears to be associated with R54 and R55

Thanks!
 
Try that one. May want to socket it to try different values.

On the schematic (down on the bottom) its part of a led noise filter with the 22u cap on the right and probably the 4k7 resister to the right of the cap. If you use too high a value resistor on the 2k2 location you might get some led turn on noise when using the foot switch

Howdy folks, checking in here.

I added sockets for the 2k2 resistor and bumped it up to 68k. It did the job of dimming the LED, but I was having some issues with calibration. I am unsure if it was related because I was wrapping the pedal up in suboptimal conditions:
  1. I started wrapping the pedal up at around midnight instead of going to bed.
  2. My guitar and my pedal board were several feet apart, so doing the calibration was a pain in the neck.
I swapped back to the 2k2 this morning and got my mini practice amp out so that I could adjust the trimmer and play at the same time, and everything is working as it should. I have everything boxed up now and don't want to undo everything that I just did, so I'll probably just dim the LED with some tape
 
are you using a diffused led?

for most of my pedals 4k7 with a diffused led is enough. I built the bigger version of that pedal and found the stock values a tad bright but not overwhelming.
