    Cave Vibe v1.0 Introduction The Cave Vibe is a unique vibe effect. It has been specially adapted to include an internal 18v charge- pump to provide more headroom to the effect. This charge-pump is made switchable so you can bring it back to the original if needed. This effect functions best with a 9V wallwart adapter and it is advised not to use 9V batteries.

    Cave Vibe v1.0 Off board wiring Wiring the pots P1,P2,P4 and P5 is very simple. The rectangle pad marks pin 1 of a potentiometer. The images below show how you can recognize which pin is which on a potentiometer. PS. You can break off the pin I marked with the yellow circle with a small pair of pliers.

    Cave Vibe v1.0 Testing and mods Testing this effect is best done in a dark environment. Most importantly you should try to shield the LDR/LED’s from outside light because this will affect the working of the effect drastically. You can make a shield out of almost anything.
