VU meter for my fetboy

[buschfsu]

anyone know of a schmatic to attach a cheap vu meter to my fetboy? I know i have to rectify the output and buffer it but am fuzzy on the values/components.

The vu meter i have has a + and - and no compensation screw so its probably just a voltmeter with a vu backplate. incredible accuracy isn't all that neccessary. The thing is already in the chassis so id like it to work.

thanks

incredible accuracy isn't all that neccessary.

Just like for the G9-preamp there'll be reactions that the Fetboy won't need a meter (ah, that was already the first remark) since it's not a clean & then clipping pre-amp. It's in fact a how far do you want to go-device.
So when accuracy not relevant here, indeed don't spend more on it than a meter for fun.

This circuit might be of use:
