Broken LED on my 6505+ footswitch

[jrbowen81]

Oh, geez....

I feel like a freakin' genius right now. I somehow managed to drop my cell phone right on the channel switching LED for my 6505+. It actually broke the top of the LED off, and now that switch is disabled. I can still use the Effects Loop switch and the Clean/Crunch switch, but the Channel switch does nothing. Why does all the stupid crap happen to me? Anyway, I hope this is a cheap and easy fix because a new footswitch is like $80. It seems like all I'd have to do is buy a new LED and solder it in, but I hope there's not something else to it. I have someone who can do it for me if I end up second guessing my soldering skills.

:banghead:

Keep in mind, LED's have both a positive and negative end (the longer wire is positive if I remember correctly).

cheap easy fix if you do it your self and can solder well.
