Leds To Measure Output From Jack


TenderSurrender

Recommended Posts

Had an idea today and was wondering how easy it would be to...

Install a series of LEDS (say 5?) that measures the output of the pups from the output jack?

Its an idea basically since none of my guitars have "numbers" on the vol pots, and when playing live, i think itd be "cool" to have some lights telling you how much damn noise your making :D

I suppose what im asking you guys for is a wiring diagram for a level meter but coming from the output jack!

Also could someone then explain the diagram so i can actually understand it, i did GCSE Electronics... doesnt mean i did well in it :D

Thanks in advance guys!

LM3915 Dot/Bar Display Driver If the data sheet doesn't give you enough info, google LM3915 for more ideas. It works on a single supply down to about 3 volts, so even button cell batteries are an option.

Hey LK thanks for the reply, its very helpful and seems like this will be a cheap project to do :D

Thanks once again
