'LIGHTWAH'

i know!...

Ha ha.

Arghh.. 2 last questions (hopefully)

On the top right of the layout pdf there is something marked sw1 sw2 sw3

Am I right in guessing that this is the left 3 lugs of the footswitch?

Should all LEDs have resistors attached?

Thanks again!

[deadastronaut]

SW1/2/3   is for a toggle switch...so you switch between footwah, lfo wah...its an  spdt switch.

all resistors are on pcb....apart from your footswitch one which is off board ok...

heres a pic..

Fantastic. Thank you sir.

Am I right in thinking that the LDR on the op amp feedback could be replaced by just about anything such as a transistor or potentiometer to sweep the wah?  Love the sound of this thing.

[deadastronaut]

the wah can be swept/fixed with the sensor pot anyway......dark and light!....back n forth!..

expression pedal?.. is that what your thinking..

[nexekho]

I was thinking about mapping input amplitude to wah sweep so it works like an auto wah.

[deadastronaut]

hmmmm interesting...sounds like a good option/addition...

I'm just putting a parts list together and was wondering what size enclosures you guys are using?

[deadastronaut]

1590b....hammond/eddystone...

I got turned on to your project just about a week ago, man I love it! Your video demo are really awesome! Putting this on my to-do list, hopefully sooner than later..Did any LDR work fine for the external sensor? I usually use the only one that Tayda sells..

[deadastronaut]

cool:  i used a 5k-1M ldr...

I can attest that with a 10r - 22k LDR, the external sensor does not work when placed into a led bezel under a clear led
Waiting for my tayda order too .. it's been sent 10 days ago .. i check the mailbox everyday with a thrill ..... and don't find anything .. i have 4 projects depending of this shipping

ahhhhh patience!!!!...

Has anyone got a photo of how they have mounted the LDR inside the LED bezel?

[deadastronaut]

i haven't,  this is what i did..

i took a clear lens led cut off the legs and sanded/filed the bottom flat then using the ridge of the led i glued it into a bezel...

then i put heat shrink on th legs of the ldr and put a blob of superglue on the top face of the ldr and pushed it into the bezel...then put your

bezel gromet on the legs of the ldr....sorted!...

[threepwood]

Hmm... I think I see what you mean. It's a little hard to visualise without the parts in front of me. I'm sure I'll bodge something together!
Thanks.

why the heat shrink on the legs of ldr?

[deadastronaut]

just to stop them little spindly legs touching the inside of the metal bezel

I just built it using this schematic and deadastronaut's layout ..
it works great ... but i got ticking each time the LFO led turns on and off..
i have reread the thread about the ticking thing and it seems there is no mention of that for a long time ..
Does anyone have an idea on what i could try to get rid of this? first time i mess with LFO's and i don't have any idea what could cause that.. i guess it's around the LFO IC, but that's all
thanks in advance.. can't wait to put this in a box!!!!! !! !! !! !! !! !!!
