This is the way I've always wired, it's worked fine with me. Center green wire goes to LED with a 3k resistor:

if you follow that picture from skull, the original wires from the jacks will become the blue and yellow. I like to think of input as a send. output as a return. so BLUE is your old input, new send. yellow is your return. this example has a grounded send to keep the pedal quiet when not in use. devi uses grounded output so it even keeps the radio noise muted. depends on your needs.

^this, you can also put the 3k resistor instead of the green wire going to the middle lug (maybe use shrinkwrap). That makes it easier wiring the LED.
