  1. it to be easily changed so i can change the frequency on it and sensitivity
  2. not some little board gizmo thingy that i have to buy a bazillion little parts to make

and from what i heard i need some type of a sensor or mike, a low-pass filter, and a SCR i think as the basics



Triac and you need a safety isolating transformer.

I did this kind of thing 36 yrs ago.

k and can anyone gimme directions on how to install all of this?

Google "color organ" and review the options. Only you can decide where the buy/build decision is made. In general, though, you'll either make it from discrete IC components plus a handfull of passives (either as a kit or from plans) or buy a complete, UL-listed, fully assembled, off- the-shelf box.

Paper clip in each hand, then insert both simultaneously into AC outlet, and "the beat goes on" ;-)

Go to A.S.B. - they will know just what to do with you.

Wow, both of these posters appear asleep at the switch on this one.

John, don't put your tongue so far in your cheek, you get your face so distorted that some may not recognize you.
