First project is up on Protoboard Micro. I took inspiration from @fig and attached the board via velcro to swap out projects without tearing down. Here, I'm working on a simple level meter based on a project offered by MAS Effects. The first stage is a buffer that allows for a bit of level correction and frequency filtering. Then, the signal is rectified so it can be fed to a meter. I'm still working on tuning this. I know I'm not going to be able to get a true VU meter from this setup (the needle isn't the most accurate, either), but open to suggestions. I'm thinking I want to limit bass either with the coupling cap or in the buffer stage. The release is pretty quick right now, so I may increase the cap after the rectifier.
