Hi all
I have tamperd with the genes of two of the most loved DIY project.  :icon_eek: :icon_eek: 
This thread http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=75101.0 concerning replacing the LED:s in a Easy Vibe by a light bulb inspired me to do a bit of GMO engineering. I have merged the best sounding easy built Vibe, The Easy Vibe, with the most versatile easy built LFO, the Tremulus Lune.

This is the result

This is the film crappy film where I try to show how the light from the LED affects the LDR and the sound. It is made with an old Cannon Ixus500 there by the quality of sound and pic.

This is the test bench I used. I took R.G:s layout for the Easy Vibe and only populated the Vibe part. (about odd soldering to the PCB, I plan to reuse the components) and did some surgery to my Tremulous Lune Box. I had to add a 500K Lin pot in series with the speed put to get slow enough sweep for the vibe.I took out the LED and replaced it with hook-up wires to a separate board with 4xLDR and ONE led. Its actually two LED:s One bright blue and one dim read. I sanded the top of them and glued them together and added a switch between them to se if the brightness had any effect. As you can se in the end on the film the effect was non so I skipped one led in the new layout.

This is the 4 LDR 1+1 LED combo.

This is the test bench
