Title: Turnabout - what is the 2 LEDs for?
Post by: eddalexandre on August 07, 2016, 10:07:30 AM
Hey, guys. As I mentioned before, I am building a Turnabout - Angry Charlie clone, from MadBeam. I noticed that at the projecto there are 2 LEDs. Sure, one is for the state indication (I/O). But what is the second LED for? Tkx for your help!

Looks like D1 and D2 ( 3mm red LEDs ) are used to clip the signal.  They help in adding distortion to the signal.

Só, what u mean is that the projecto doesn't have a state (I/O) indicator LED? Do u think it is ok if I add one? Txs!

That tutorial always leaves me wanting more of Bean's adventures with tonez.

Yes I wish he would make one on following an audio path. Me its the biggest problem when trouble shooting something and would be a great help.
