Heya folks,
I want to built a footswitchable voltage sag with an LED into a pedal. Would this layout work? The LED may be facing the wrong way, I'm not sure, but I'm more asking about the switch wiring. Thanks

I built one...but I used a little voltage regulator board I bought from ebay for a couple bucks. Works really well with some pedals..seems like the more primitive the circuit, the better it works.

Other than the backwards LED, you're good.

Cool, thanks. Finished building a Devi Ever Ruiner/Hyperion clone with the footswitchable voltage sag. Sounds nice! Haven't had much time to play with it today though
Looking forward to pairing it with my GZ/VFM clone
