btw. I can't seem to make the circuit do the long 100% cycle. I've put the switch where illustrated in the layout, but when i switch it, it stops triggering all together. Any ideas?

another thing. I've burnt one "channel" on one 4016 chip by connecting a homebrewed distortion pedal in series after the toy triggered by the sequencer. I don't really get what the problem is, other than it doesn't like (the 4016 gets really hot) sharing the same power supply as the distortion pedal. Any ideas on that one?
