    This allows for syncing multiple effects to one tempo and wave modulation type. There are three effects projects designed specifically for the Tapanatorator (a phaser, wah and tremolo) which can be purchased separately. Details on those effects can be found in their respective build documents.
  • Page 8 T1-T3 will also come in handy if you want to try a different optical effect instead of the three projects I designed for the Tapanatorator. It will let you adjust the LED for the best result on that particular effect.
  • Page 9 Some heat shrink will help lock the wires in but is not necessary. Make sure your wires are long enough to connect between the Tapanatorator and the effects they are driving; 1 ft. or 1.5ft. should be plenty.

  • Page 11 Prototypes Note – The prototype for the Wah effect had an additional switch for frequency selection. This was eliminated on the production model since you can get nearly the same effect by adjusting the brightness control (T3 in this pic).
