Devi Ever shoegazer independent wiring

Hello,
Sorry for my noobing it up, but I was looking at the shoe gazer independent wiring diagram and had a few questions.

The Diagram: http://www.deviever.com/fx/forum/download/file.php?id=3543

The Questions:
1. The black lines going to the pots, i'm assuming thats just grounding them? Correct?
2. The resistor on the first pot, where is that going/connected to?
3. How do I add in the LED's for each switch? Do I attach the negative LED leg to the open middle lug next to each center lug?

Thanks guys.

1) yes the black lines are ground. devi just wires them to the back of the pots. the pots make contact to the case at the front of the pot. the case makes contact with the jacks ground. when I work on devi pedals, I wire them the right way. I actually use a black wire to ground things, this keeps the ground impedance low. also, soldering to the back of the pot can cause pots to have a high rate of failure.

2) I think its a 1k. thats how it was in the other devi pedals. it gets soldered to back of the pot (ground). that makes the pot not go down all the way.

3) look at that picture, the top and middle rows get connected when the pedal is on. yo need to wire the LED to the footswitch in a way that it connects to ground when the pedal is on. you have a hole side of the footswitch that is not used. thats where the LED goes. if you still can't figure it out, I can help you more.
