I think trying to quantify music is one of the biggest wastes of time in the world, like discussing your favourite colour or deity or pizza topping. People should realise that and get on with their life.


take the output from the pot on expression pedal as the pos input on the led side of the vactrol. If it's not strong enough to power the led then it'll need a opampMisomusist wrote:Huh?xdugef wrote:Just put a vactrol on it in parallel doooooooooooooooooodtimdrage wrote:Ha no it just indicates that the effect is on, that would be great but I doubt it'd be easy to find a double pot that'd fit in there

Tim was right, you'd need a double pot, the signal thru the pot would be dependent on the source signal, and would be AC, the vactrol would act slightly like a clipping diode, but it would need a buffer, with an op-amp and some other stuff you might be able to get the LED to dance to the signal, but it wouldn't really indicate the wah was being used.
Morley's use optoelectronics for their wah, so you could fit another LDR into the light source, and use it to control the LED's.

That'd be convenient but I still don't think it's necessary. I also wasn't suggesting that the lights would dance in time with the audio.. just dim when you work the pedal.Misomusist wrote:you'd need a double pot,
At any rate .. it were necessary instead of trying to find a double pot that fit.. I'd mount a second pot and 3d print a gear for it that could be driven by the existing mechanism.
Is that what Tim's pedal is?Misomusist wrote:Morley's use

I think there's space behind it for a double pot, i think there's just a fork in the casting the pot is clamped to by the shaft, and that's it, nothing behind it, so there might be space.

You can get ridiculously compact dual gang pots, but I think this says it all:

you should mount rows of them around the perimeter of the table :wtg:timdrage wrote:Thankscrochambeau wrote:
