VU meters for pedals?

That guy always has amazing stuff.  As soon as I have time I'm building an engineers thumb.

I'm also very interested in this curious how you'd hook something like this up to a pedal, to show output

(I'm not even remotely interested in it being properly calibrated, I just want to see the meter move when I play. )

Hell yeah! Guitar players are the coolest. My guitar player took his tuner off his board so he could have room for another dirt pedal!

Not that the tuner is important, it isn't.  But if your guitar player still doesn't have enough room, he can always Velcro new dirt pedals on top of existing dirt pedals.

If you get enough dirt pedals turned on nobody will know you're out of tune anyway.

I was thinking a full on spectrum analyzer.  Like this:
