Newbie LED question

[fornio]

Hello - I have the Chalumeau PCB and was looking over the build list and had a question about LEDs. Does the PCB address the CLR for the LED? It looks as though the instructions show soldering the LED directly to the PCB.

Just wanted to check before accidentally frying an LED.

That isn’t a typical bypass LED, it’s part of the modulation circuit. R100 (4k7) is your CLR for the bypass LED.

Understood - I was actually more interested in the bypass LED - I mostly assumed the modulation LED had the CLR in the circuit as well. Reading more threads it sounds as though PedalPCB typically includes CLR for all of the LEDs including the bypass LED.

Definitely do, it’s always a 4k7.

Thanks - this means I don't have to try and shoehorn a resistor somewhere into the build. This will hopefully be much cleaner than my first build which was less refined.
