    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...

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

    About 20 years ago, something happened to it, I forget if liquid was spilled on it or cats peed on it, but something happened and I dried it out and it worked except for the LED. I set it aside and recently took it off the shelf to tinker with it.

    Ok ,. I'm not sure how to do that. I know kpatz said what to do but do I put the pedal back together? Where do I place the meter leads to test voltage?

    Ok. Thanks! So I just use my soldering iron to "de-solder the LED from the module then gently pull it out, right, then do the test with the multimeter, right? I really appreciate all the help. thanks for taking the time to help a newbie with such a trivial thing.

    Hi, The LED in my Ibanez Tone-Lok CF7 guitar effects pedal does not light up when the pedal is engaged (the pedal functions normally otherwise). I have taken the pedal apart with the intention of replacing the LED and did a search online for effects pedal LEDs to see if I could match it by...
