    Just got my hands on a second hand polychorus. And the first thing I noticed was that the red led stays on if the pedal is engaged or not. So you can’t tell if the pedal us turned on. You can only tell by playing the guitar. It’s v annoying. Is this normal?? I had a loan of one of the newer polychorus’ and I think I remember there being 2 diff colours for the led. One red and one green.

    Is there a way to mod it so I have 2 different led colours? Green for on and red for off?

    Yeah, just divert it from the slide on/off switch to the stomp switch. Or use a bi color LED and have both.

    Older PC’s were like that, it was a power on LED only.

    It s easy to me yes but if you have no idea about what you’re doing it may not be so easy.

    If you post gut shots of your pedal of the whole thing, people can help you. or if you don’t feel confident enough you can just send it to Ron Neely, his moniker on the forum is The EH Man. YUou could send him a PM about it that’s if you’r in the US. If you’re in Australia I can do it for you.
