Where to solder an LED?

Got this awesome Sonic Titan clone from @MtB but I’d like to add an LED. Where do I solder it? I’ve a bunch of resistors to limit the current.

    It should be a case of using the top and middle terminals on the left hand side of the foot switch (two unused terminals - as shown in the photo). Connect a lead from the middle terminal to earth - either to the white lead on the left hand jack in the photo, or the green lead on the right hand jack in the photo. Then connect the shorter (negative) LED leg to the top left land terminal of the footswitch (best to have a wire between the two) and the longer (positive leg) of the LED to a 2k2 resistor (for a red LED - you may have to experiment with resistor values for other LED colours) and the other end of the resistor to the +ve connection on the power input (in the top of the picture the red wire and terminal.

    That should do you.
