I bought the latest LP by A Place To Bury Strangers, as I like that band. Getting an LP sized circuit board with it, to build a DBA synth with 2 delay lines was pretty cool.
Sourcing parts was fine, just those rotary switches required some searching, as they had to be the exact type (Alpha, open) to fit the footprint.
Why there are gigantic holes for the potentiometer legs is beyond me. I had some contact mics at hand that I could use. What else? I used a different 9V jack, because I wanted something Lumberg. And I installed small rubber feet for cabs to make the thing stand somehow.
It sounds great, can make all sorts of drones and noises and the two delays offer a lot of potential to go wild.
Really cool is also the input. You can use it as a pedal if you want.
Here are some noises, using my bass going through the synth.
And here a snippet of just the synth on its own.
