Hey

I just ordered some parts to build a channelswitch pedal for my Orange AD30.
It's a single switch with 1/4 inch cable.
I know how to wire it up to a single 2 legged LED but I was thinking that it would be cooler to have a red/green 3 legged LED, 1 color for each channel.
The thing is that I have no idea how to wire it.

This is how I planed to wire a normal LED with a 470ohm resistor

Anyone that could tell me how to do it with a 3 legged R/G-LED?

Cheers
