I am purchasing parts to build the mood ring, but I am very new to this.  Can anyone tell me if using a LM78L05 will work in place of a LM7805.  Looks like the main difference is that the recommended 7805 has 1 Amp and the 78L05 has 100mA's.  I am lost as to figure out if this will work or not or cause crazy problems. 

Thanks for any help you can give me.

You want to get the 1 amp one with the heat sink on it.

Nope, been there done that
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.
