<p>Your certainly could. Or perhaps a little bit of wire wouldn't add too much interference. Personally... I'm not totally satisfied with the location of the LEDs on the board. I'm sure it was more of a matter of convenience, where they were placed. My biggest gripe on the matter would be that the tremolo rate LED is difficult to see from the user's perspective, being behind that knob. So I "tippy toed" mine, as you say above, when I reinstalled my blue LED into it. Actually broke the red one trying to get it out. C'est la vie.
