Make sure the stomp switch for the pedal is a 3pdt. it has 9 lugs whereas a dpdt has only 6. you need the 3pdt to add the LED.
as for the right resistor... depends ont he LED and how bright you want it. for the cheapo LEDs where the plastic is the same color as the light, probably 4.7k. If it is a superbright LED which normally come in the clear plastic, I find that 4.7k works good for yellow or orange, 4.7k-10k for the red ones, and 22-33k for blue or white. blue is usually the brightest so if you use that color go 33k. white, ive used 22k or 33k and it kinda depends on the particular LED.
you can get LED's at radio shack, or smallbearelec.com
