I could return the device but it would just look too cool on a pedal board to not try to make it work...
I had the idea that I could make a spiffy little meter that would dance when I hit the strings on my guitar. I found one that is digital but with an analog appearance. It's 1V but can be scaled up. My thought was that I could try different guitars and scale it appropriately. It arrived and I realised that this one is DC voltage not AC like I narrowed by filters for. There is no AC one that's this small and cool looking. My question is - what is the easiest way to ramp up guitar pickup mV to get to the range of 100mV to 1V DC? I'm pretty decent with a soldering pen, components fabricating off small boards so schematics to go with ideas are very welcome.
This device will not be in the audio path at all. It will run off an isolated output and the DC voltage to power it will run off of an isolated source as well.
Thanks in advance!
