----- Original Message ----- From: MOTM Markk <motmmarkk@...> I could have swore... I saw on Larry's big Magic Bus machine lower left corner a pair of analog meters... is that what you were measuring Larry? Current, Amps and Voltages?? possibly... --LH-- I have 3 measuring meters in my system. The 2 analog meters monitor the +15 and -15 volt legs (30 volt scale). they are back lit with Neon and look cool in the dark. Call it a fancy power switch. They can tell you lots in a hurry if you have a short in your PS wiring or any module. One time (I swear it was only once) I put my ICs in upside down. When I turned on the PS, I have almost no voltage. They pointed out the trouble right away. The chips were still toast, but I found my mistake quickly. I have 2 more with 15 volt scales. I plan one for the 5 volt monitor and one for a plug in voltage monitor which can be used to monitor any AC or DC voltage in my system. I also have a 10 LED VU monitor in my system. It is in my Klangwerk module. See here: http://www.wiseguysynth.com/larry/kw2010/mods/2010_mod1.htm I was thinking about a 1U panel with a dual AC/DC voltage monitor. I am thinking about a less complicated meter for my Time Machine. It has a red clip light. But, I am thinking about adding 2 small T1 LEDs below that (one yellow and one green) to assist in setting the level correctly into the TM. I love my Time Machines (thanks John). But, they do really ugly stuff (not the good kind) when you over drive them. Larry
