Adding Status LEDs to Morley Power Wah Boost

[TimSterling1981]

I have a vintage Tel-Ray/Morley Power Wah Boost, and am wondering how to add two LEDs to this pedal (keep in mind it runs off of 120v from the wall, NOT a 9v battery). The LEDs are for Wah and Boost on/off status. I'm just wondering what types of LEDs I will need, along with any resistors, and possibly an image of how to wire it up. Thanks!

I got your pm. I wish i could help more. I replaced the switches with i think 4pdt, powered the leds with a 9v jack and it worked like a charm. Just swap in the switches, match everything to the was the original switches were laid out, and then i wired the leds using some diagrams i found online for wiring an indicator led into a crybaby (used their suggestions for resistor values too).

I also added a momentary true bypass switch which is mounted on the treadle, and also works great.

Thanks, I was actually thinking of just adding a 9v DC jack (powered by Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus) and doing it that way, considering I can't find anything on (safely) tapping into the 120v supply from the wall to power the LEDs. I DID actually install an IEC power jack on the side so that it's wired for 3-prong cords, a feature that I wanted in order to more easily swap pedals out on the road if one goes bad. Check it out:



I discovered I can leave the stock DPDT switches and still wire up LEDs (I'm using special 9-12v LEDs that have the resistors built in, so I don't have to purchase separate resistors). I'm eventually going to be running it in a loop, so I'm not worried about doing a true-bypass mod to it anymore.

Thanks for the tips!
