    2. All right, here you go. This one is really fun. I dig this noisy stuff. The demo ran a little long because I got lost in playing around, same thing happens to me with Parasit pedals. If you roll the tone back all the way it gets real crazy, jump to 2:20 for that. 5:30 I start messing around with the volume knob and how it plays into the noise and whatnot. Great effect.

    3. Thats great, love the interaction with the guitar knobs.

      Have you tried it with the LED/LDR combo in darkness? If so, any differnt beviour.
      Also, I guess you could experiment with a C taper for the Freq control?

    4. Yeah, the LDR just reacts to the LED a little faster in the sweep, nothing major.

      I tried a C100K and it's a little better, the high frequency is still kinda bunched up at the beginning. It's like the main sweep reacts, from full CCW to about 9 o'clock and then right at the very end of the sweep CW.I switched to a C50K and it was better but I'm going to try C20 and C10 later and see how it reacts.

    5. Logs are definitely the way to go for the Frequency pot. I can't really tell if there's more low end with the A100K vs A50K but I like the sweep of the 50 more. Here's a B100K - C100K - A100k - A50K comparison.
