Formula NO. 5 Question

stringfellow_Hawke
Hope you guys don't mind a total newb question, but I'm still trying to get a handle on all of this. I posted this as a comment on the Formula No. 5 layout , but I imagine there aren't too many people checking up on that one at this point, so I thought I would ask here as well. I'm planning to box my Formula 5 build soon and I want to put the switch for the "more" mode on a stomp switch rather than a toggle and I would also like to wire up a second LED for when the more mode is engaged. The wiring just to switch the resistor in and out of the circuit is easy enough, but I'm not sure about adding the LED. So, it seems to me that in order to do this, I would just use a 3PDT switch, wire the right two rows exactly as it is on the layout, but switch the 2m2 resistor to the bottom row, then wire the negative side of the LED to lug 1. Would I also need to run a wire from lug two to ground? Am I at least in the ballpark?

Look at "Switchable Boost"  that should put you in the ballpark

No problem.  Believe me, I ask way stupider questions than that.
