Hi,

I've been wanting to add a touch sensitive volume strip to a guitar project but running into some troubles, Here's the standard wiring diagram that's currently used:

Does anybody here have any good ideas?

Cheers

 

Perhaps you could use the SoftPot to control the LED current of a H11F1M optocoupler (which has a symmetrical MOSFET as the output). The MOSFET resistance can change from megOhms to a few hundred Ohms as the LED current goes from zero to about 30mA. Battery life wouldn't be brilliant, though.
