Replacing bulb?

Is this hard to do? I have a pedal that seems like the bulb is dying. Or it could be something totally different, I've never even opened a pedal. When engaged, the pedal light flickers really randomly, sometimes staying on or off for quite a while on end. The sound stays the same the whole time, which is nice.

How big of an undertaking would it be for me to replace the bulb? Or is it something totally different? It's a Montreal Assembly Positive (Hot Cake Clone) if that matters.

I'm not a super skilled electrician or anything, but if it's just soldering I could do it.

Sounds like a bad solder joint or it could be shorting out. Open it up and see if anything looks off with the LED (bulb)

So today I was tolerating the flickering light then it cut out entirely. Board went totally silent. I had to unplug it to get any sound. I'll post gut shots tomorrow when I have time to open it up.
