Awesome! Thanks for the reply. I forgot that I had seen you around these parts recently.

All correct - they work better in parallel, with each type of capacitor offsetting the weaknesses of the other. But it doesn't need to...

Maybe I will just throw a 100nf 220nf or 1uf there since I have those on hand

I'm guessing the value of C15 is not that critical and it's more about the properties of MLCCs compared to electrolytics, i. e. lower...

Ordering parts for a Lumitron and just need a gut check on this rather odd value mlcc (C15 470nf) called for in the power section Is...

Def do your value checks, reflow solder joints even if you think they don’t need it, and get some continuity checks on those switches. I...

Thanks! Hopefully will get onto the debugging this weekend...

Had a minute to record an unapologetically shitty demo…..enjoy? Telecaster bridge pup into Epiphone Pathfinder. Moo-tron, then SWAH...

I just ran through some settings on my recently completed Moo-tron and I can confirm that there is some decay flutter in mine as well...

Envelope filters can be very setting dependent especially when flipping from an up to down filter. What works in one will get you little...

I haven't - not much of a treadle guy, but This is the way I'd go about it, and similar to how the Sweep control is implemented in the...

I’d guess that the filter probably isn’t responding to the entire range of that LDR. Like the filter’s fully open a while before the LDR...

Good suggestion. The Lumitron/MiniMu/Mootron all use a vactrol of one sort or another, but could def sub in something

You could have the pot modulating the brightness of an alternate led for the LDRs
