Hi,In the end decided not to worry about the LED pulsing in time with the lamp so wired it as a normal on/off LED and got it all boxed up and working,bought a 18v DC adapter which works it fine,so i'll try and upload a video on You tube soon and post a link here soon,Crawford.

Hi there,I completed my Warhead vibe build last night and got it running using two 9volt batteries in series, just until i buy a 18v DC power supply.So it is at present not boxed and has no light shield but it is working as i covered the lamp with my hand whilst strumming my geetar and it was vibing no problem.

Tonight i wired a 3pdt switch to enable me to hook up the LED which would in turn pulse in time with the lamp, the LED did pulse but it was very slight pulse, hardly noticable so i tried a 5mm standard clear LED but it was still the same,i'm not that fussed about having the LED pulsing but i was wondering if anybody had any idea why it's doing this? (I'm using a 78L15 100ma voltage regulator from smallbear)

Last question, is there a correct way to have the LDR's, i have mine standing and obviously facing the lamp but i have noticed in some other vibes they are flat on the board facing upwards.

Definitely last question, anybody from UK built this and if so what PSU did you use, cheers,Crawford.

Ignore my posts, i had two chips in the wrong positions, chorus works fine, what a dumpling, thanks to those who answered, Crawford.

Hi thanks for your reply, got my chips from http://doctortweek.co.uk, i did swap the chip around but the MN3007 got fiery hot also, I've looked and can't see any solder bridges but still need to check all components,I could hear the rate pot ticking when i held the pot and touched the switch, i'm no electonics expert but have built loads of pedals etching my own boards but when it comes to debugging i'm......ehh.....stuck,thanks again Crawford.   

Hi just made the pork Barrel chorus but unfortunately i have no chorus sound so still have to check all components but one thing i noticed was that the MN3101 chip was very very hot when power was passed through it so while i double check my build anybody know what could make this happen,thanks first time poster,Crawford
