Replacement LED for Guitar Effects Pedal (Ibanez Tone-Lok CF7)

No, you are putting the probes on the same solder pad.
Have a look on YouTube for ‘how to use a multimeter.
Edit: I’ll find one and link it here... hold on.

Hello,

You used the wrong points to test.

All you are doing there is shorting the probes on the pcb track....that proves nothing in relation to the LED.

Ok. I'll do some more research. I am a quick learner but a novice at this stuf. The only reason I was able to take the pedal apart is because there's a video youtube of someone troubleshooting the same type of pedal. I'm pretty sure he used a multimeter to test something. I'll go rewatch it, maybe I can apply the same technique

Hi Mergz, do you manage to sort your pedal out?

Hi,
Thanks for the photo and diagram! I had tried that but there was no reading - I thought I was doing it wrong.

- Yes sort of - I took that piece in my video to my local trusted instrument/ repair store to ask if they had any spare LEDs which they did, but they also offered to just fix it for a few bucks which is fine by me because I am a bumbling fool when it comes to soldering and would take me forever and a lot of cursing.

Ah ok, glad you'll be getting it sorted.
