Minor Beef with Cepheid chorus LED brightness on LFO…

[Caldo71]

Hey folks so I finished a Cephid build that is pretty flawless, but I do think the brightness of the LFO LED is really weak. Pretty hard to even see in a lit room.

Is there a different kind of LED that I should be utilizing for the LFO, or alternately could I swap out the relevant resistor (which one?) with a different value to increase brightness?

Thanks!

Looks like R11 (6K8) is the CLR for the Rate LED. Try dropping it to a lower value like 4K7 or even 2K7. Or put a 10 trimpot in its place to set the brightness as you like.

x2 options:

- change LED to "water clear" / "super bright" type:

- drop the resistor value as mentioned above by @Cybercow

Thanks guys…already a waterclear, so I’ll Cybercow it!
