Am I wrong, or do you have to use the original led when replacing the clipping diode.?

From http://www.robertkeeley.com/audio6l6/dstech.htmlKeely:

"quote"
D5 change to 3mm red led (the power LED that we take out!)
"unquote"

I�ve received a 3mm clear led from smallbear and I�m thinking of using that instead of original led on "D5", and just leave the original in place. Shouldn't be a problem, or what?

And for "a small" 47pf cap across clipping diodes, I received a very large silver mica cap. Does it matter as long as I manage to make room for it?

Any red LED will do. They're just re-using parts because they change the power LED to be a blue one.

Ok, thats cool. But how about those big yellow caps i received. Did I order the wrong one? the 47pf that is used to smooth out tone between the clipping diodes. Also the one for C7 seems much smaller on the picture from Keely. I got a BIG one. Does it matter as long as the values are correct, or does it have any other qualities that would (or not) benefit the mod/pedal/tone? Appreciate any reply. /ken
