Yeah it’s a good one to build
It’s my first time building a chorus...

I socketed the leds to switch out for the 2.2uf but the leds don’t sound bad...

Sweet build. What does that internal trim pot do?

Which LED is the indicator and which is the rate LED?

Same just set it by ear, I believe it controls the clock so you get the chorus effect. You can tell when its dialed in correctly.
Here's MadBean's instructions for how to bias the Pork Barrel (CE-2), applicable for the Caesar as well:
"Biasing the Pork Barrel is very straight forward. Set your Rate knob to its midpoint and the Depth knob to maximum. Ad- just the T1 trimmer until you get the maximum chorus effect with minimal distortion. That’s it!"

Another gorgeous build! Referencing the speed, I wonder if there is a component or two we could swap to get more speed out of it without sacrificing the slower speeds? I’m still learning the ins and outs of how everything jives but I sure love building.
I appreciate any suggestions.

changing r6 from 1M to 470k and changing the rate potentiometer from B100k to B1M.

R33 on MadBean's Pork Barrel (CE-2 clone, similiar to Julia) adjusts LFO speed. Not positive what it is on Caesar (R6?), but find the resistor coming from the wiper/middle-lug of the Rate knob. Lower resistance for faster speed, I'd recommend trying a ~270k in it's place for a better pace for a vibrato.

Thank you kindly. I looked through a bunch of the posts but somehow missed that one. Argh. Thank you K!

What are the big red caps you've got at the bottom? "J63"?
Also, why are your electrolytic caps red? I've only seen black ones before.

Those are Wima caps
And the electrolytics are würth capacitors
got both of them from mouser
