So, I was told this thing goes, "Swwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooooooosssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! "
But, it sounds more like "WooooooowWoooooooooooooowWoooooow" to me. What's up with that? icon_twisted

Rick, I know the ROG Tri-Vibe has a sweet sine wave shaped LFO. Maybe you should look at that one?

I am definitely going to build one of these. It is too sexy not to!

That sounds great, I like the flangerish ringing in the first clip, almost like it's on the verge of self oscillating.

I had another idea about how to implement parity modulation. What if we add a single phase stage in the regen path, not fixed, but modulated by a single FET driven by it's own LFO? That way the regen signal would get flipped over between in phase and out of phase thus creating parity modulation?

Implementing that as a phase shift stage would be interesting; because the "polarity" would be frequency dependent.  An alternative idea, somewhere between this and the LED/LDR method posted eariler, would be to modulate a JFET instead of the switch in a polarity reverser type circuit.

Parity modulation LFO redesigned, perf'ed and tested, home-made vactrols rolled. And the main PCB arrived today from my PCB man.....



......and some perf-porn for Slade:

Here's the new parity mod circuit and layout. A little more graduated than the previous version. Incidentally, this circuit can also be used to replace pretty much any pot configured as a voltage divider, though you might want to limit the dark resistance of the LDRs by using resistors in parallel. Imagine - LFO control of BM tonestack, or of mixing between two signals, or..........

PCB layout verified! Just hooked it up! This thing sounds awesome - even quieter than on breadboard. I can't wait to get it boxed up now......

The more observant amongst you will have noticed that the FETs are having sex. This is the secret of good phasing IMO.

Shame on you for only bothering to read it once. Don't come back until you've read it the other 99 times.     I'm so clever I might only have to read it 50 times........- Rick Holt

This is how I am proposing to implement the (quite complex) regen options:



The two regen inputs are on the left, one stage apart. The DPDT selects either parity modulation (from the parity modulation board) or fixed odd/even parity (selected by the SPDT). Then the regen pot and limiting resistor. Finally the 6 regen taps (each two stages apart) selected by the 1P6T rotary switch.

Hey, why don't you make the switch to select manual parity or parity modulation into a 3pdt stomp?
Would be nice to have that option while you're playing Wink

Wow what a good idea, how could I not have thought of that?  Roll Eyes
