Hi
I'm not so sure about what your trying to do, there might be other ways to achieve what you're aiming at.

Yes, the resistor is important in any case regardless of the specific voltage of the LED. It provides necessary current-limiting as well as giving the proper voltage.

some leds are high bright and therefore consume less current = longer battery life.
A 22k resistor in series will still give usable intensity - reduce gradually to 1k for brighter or less efficient leds BUT do not go any lower - the Led will be toast . I use 4k7 to 10k depending on the application and colour, efficiency etc.

You should ask the (self-proclaimed) "Authority" first....General Guitar Gadgets - The DIY Stompbox Authority
But you can try this:
Connect the input of a CD 4040 to pin 2 or 4 of the MN 3102.
At one of the outputs of the divider chain should be a slow pulse rate - visible. connect a low-current-led in series with a resistor 1k - 4k7 to that output. voila...

When I first saw this I thought about an edge triggered monostable from the divider to "blink" the L.E.D. instead of a 50% duty cycle.
Then I looked at the build information and saw that the maximum delay is only 205mS - I had to wonder if a Flashing L.E.D. at 5Hz or faster would be of any use to you at all.
If the delay was in the 1/2 second plus range, I could see how this would be useful.
Just musing,

The fact that you want to make it true bypass also states that the trailing is not possible anymore by the definition of what true bypass is.
