It's will very on the size of the resister you use on the Red lead. The best way would be to use a potentiometer and dial in the shade of purple you want.Originally Posted by Valgard Telash
is that like a variable resistor?
Yes it is.
thanx very much. ps congrats on a bloody brilliant mod!!
Yeah I would agree with grayven on this. I had a bunch of resistors laying around the house and just kept changing values until I got a nice purple. It would have been much easier with a pot (didn't have one on hand though).
what value resistor did you end up with,
i spoke to the manager of my local maplins electronics shop and he told me that a pot is not sesnitive enough to use for resistence this small.
I can't remember where I found it at now, but I was able to get a pot at 25 ohms. It works pretty well. It just has no effect after about the last 25% of the range. I have also used a 1K ohm pot and it was only effective in about 10% of the of the range. Here is a video I made with the 1k ohm and you can see it can still be used, but you lose alot of the range.

can you get a pot small enough to fit into an fx construction kit hilt?
yes, easily
