LDR's

[Austin73]

Was thinking of making a couple of idiot wahs but fancied using LDR's to contol the Wah sweep. Had a quick look at Rapid (UK)  butn not sure what I actually need.

Anyone got any ideas?

Also how would I reverse the light Dark sensitivity to give me wah anti wah sound if I put 2 together (SRV)

Hope this makes sense as I've just come off a long long long night shift

Cheers

Austin

looking over the site, I'd say something like this:
http://www.rapidonline.com/productinfo.aspx?tier1=Electronic+Components&tier2=Optoelectronics&tier3=Optoelectronic+Devices&tier4=Miniature+light+dependent+resistor&moduleno=34796

you can wire a resistor in series with the thing to basically define a "max resistance", or in series with it to define the minimum resistance (along with the minimum resistance of the actual LDR when bright which is usually a couple of kiloohms)
