Hi everyone, Im a guitar player and ive recently been making a guitar boost/volume pedal, i came up with the idea of adding 32 LED's to the top of the unit, they are the blue ones, the idea is when i click the pedal i get a volume boost from the pedal plus all the LED's light up.
Ive linked all the LED's in series all the + together and all the - together and wired them straight onto 2xAA 1.5v alkaline batteries giving an output of 3v, via a DPDT toe switch, so the guitar signal is seperated from the LED side.
My quick question.. do i need to add a resistor to the circuit? will my LED's burn out if i don't? bearing in mind the LED's will only be lit while the boost is on.
Thanks
Lee.
