Fender trem

Would this silverface Fender Pro benefit  by replacing the 2.7K / 25uf cap with an LED  to increase the intensity ?

Probably not, but very easy to try. Please let us know the results.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Any benefit (eg in depth of modulation) may be most apparent at the lower trem speed / oscillator freq.
As the cathode will be fully bypassed down to dc, whereas the efficacy of the 25uF bypass may not be as good 'down there'.
