Parentheses LED size.

I’m looking to put 5mm LEDs in this for on/off notification. I’ve heard it’s going to be really bright unless I swap a resistor. Can anybody help me with what resistor I would have to swap and what value I should replace it with?
 
I find with LEDs I like a different value for every color, and even changing brands of LED might require a different CLR.

After putting a blindingly bright LED in a pedal before, now I always now breadboard the LED to choose a good resistor to match it.
 
R100, 101, and 102. The build doc shows 4k7 for all three.

The schematic shows which LED they are connected to: R100 is distortion, 101 octave, and 102 boost.

I used diffused white leds in mine with the stock resistor values.

As spi said above, you might need to test it out. If it’s too bright, I would try doubling the resistor and go from there.
