External footswitches, how to acknowledge they're on and off? Let me explain.

With the footswitches attached to the POD GO, the default is for the lights to go on and off. I purchased a Hotone Amoero footswitch, and was able to get it working perfectly. 

BUT...I soon realized at practice that there's no real way to determine if it's on or off. Sure, if it's distortion vs clean....just use your ears. But otherwise, forget it. I did eventually swap over to the view where you can see the pedal chain, but you REALLY have to peek at it to see whats on and off. 

So, does anyone do this in a live situation? Did you end up replacing (or buying, initially) a pedal that DOES have a light? It's a "catch 22" because this doesnt need power, and I'd rather just use the power supply that comes with the pod go and nothing else. And the reason for the extra 7/8 switches is for a solo boost. But now I am realizing it may not work. Thoughts? What do you do?
