Boneyard doing something odd

Noticed when I turn my Boneyard on, the led on the hi-gain footswitch goes off. I can still toggle between the normal and hi-gain, but the led only works if the pedal effect is bypassed. Anyone got a thought as to why it would do this? Pretty sure it worked fine bfore, and I can't think of any reason why it would do this. The wiring checks out, and everything is as the build docs.

Make sure the ground of your LED is going to more than one lug on the footswitch.

On mine, the Hi-Gain and Boost LEDs stay on even with the effect off.

All the wiring is spot-on. It occured to me that maybe the on/off switch has a dead contact. When it switches to the on position, it's effectively moving the ground from the led from one side to the other. So it that contact is broke, it might explain this. I think it's multi-meter time.

Everything checks out. This pedal hates me.

Ok, dodgy connection. Pedal fixed. I hate life. Nothing more to see here.  ;D

Shouldn't this equate to you loving life?  :D
