Hey Alan!

Great job. Would have commented earlier, but have had massive computer problems over the last three weeks or so. Finally getting them sorted.

Glad you were able to make use of the template.!

I can be lazy sometimes. At other times, my OCD kicks in. (This happened when I was wiring this thing up -- I'd get to a good stopping point, then play World of Warcraft. A minute later, all I can think about is the wiring I'll need to do next... how to route it... soldering... my poor paladin was getting no attention.)

So I pulled it apart to take some photos. I was going to adjust trimmers, but it sounds okay to me.





For the amount of wires it has, it's quite tidy, really :) One small good point -- with the jacks wired like they are, it will completely work outside the enclosure like this (doesn't rely on case for grounding.)

Big tip to make it musically usable -- tune the VCO. Play your root note or main note or whatever, and adjust the VCO frequency until it stops 'beating'. I'm going to experiment with this and a pedal once my new expression pedal turns up :)

Here's my next big project --



One 3n3 cap still has to go on, plus wires :) Once the cap plus a slide switch turns up, I'm going to drill the enclosure and wire that one up. I really don't want to wire it up without the drilled enclosure because I won't know how long to trim the wires.

That is impressive!  :o  I would get worn out just using something with all those knobs and switches, nevermind building it!   :)
