So, I've wanted to build this for awhile, but I was really turned off by hearing that it was a subtle effect. I finally got the LFO section breadboarded and was able to find that lowering the C38 value increases the depth range of the modulation. In my build I went with a 47n cap, but I think I might have overshot it, I'm thinking the 82n might have been enough. I also toyed around with shorting out the first half of the slew pot. On the scope it seemed that it was killing the modulation as it is turned up, but in the functional unit it seems to work fine. At full CW it sounds like a regular chorus, towards CCW it sounds like a warped chorus and at 50% more square wave character. I dialed in the gate as described on the forum, I am getting some pretty heavy hiss on the last 1/3rd of the pot, which maybe could be dialed out with an adjustment, but the rest of the range is very usable. I might just call this one done.
Enclosure is no-film on a Tayda powder coat. The Black Water is in reference to @thewintersoldier appraisal of this circuit I've only played with it a little, but for now, I think it's pretty cool and definitely unique.
