SOLVED Moonshot Tremolo rate LED always on

Just completed wiring up a Moonshot Tremolo pedal. This is the 3rd pedal I have constructed.

The pedal is working nicely with the one exception being that the rate light is always on even when the pedal is in the bypass mode. I expected that the led would not be lit when in bypass. My electronics understanding is limited but looking at this schematic I now realize that the power to the 4558 opamp is not switched. So I guess that the circuit is working as designed.

Is my interpretation correct, meaning the led will always be lit and pulsing at the tremolo rate? Is there a way to wire the led through the 3PDT switch so it won't be lit in bypass mode?

I'll add pics of the current state of the project.
