Knobs
Attack, Spread, Signal, Center, and Blend shape how quickly the lights respond, how wide the palette opens up, when the system wakes up, what hue it revolves around, and how smoothly one note fades into the next.
Turn sound into light.
Lightning Bug listens to your instrument, maps notes and chords to color, and lets you shape how the lights react with a small set of tactile controls.
Effect Toggle
Effect layers sit on top of the current light settings to push the look further. Choose either Fluid or Chaos, then press the center switch to activate the effect. Once it is on, the effect keeps running even when no audio is detected.
Settings & Modes
Lightning Bug gives you two color modes, Chromatic and Harmonic, with three presets available in each mode for six custom presets total. Use the mode buttons to switch looks, and press and hold a mode button until its LED flashes three times to save the current settings.
Chromatic
In Chromatic mode, each note becomes a color. As you move around the fretboard, the lighting shifts with your pitch so the connection between sound and color stays easy to follow.

Potentiometer settings
Five knobs shape how Lightning Bug turns guitar signal into color, motion, and response.
Attack
How quickly the lights respond when you start or stop playing, from sharp immediate changes to softer fades.
Spread
How far the colors shift away from the center hue, which changes how wide or narrow the palette feels.
Signal
How loud the guitar must be before the lights activate, helping the pedal react to softer or stronger playing.
Center
The base color the system orbits around, giving the whole lighting response a consistent visual anchor.
Blend
How much one note's color fades into the next, shaping whether the transitions feel smooth or more distinct.
