Trigger warning. This is a tale of excess, indecision, and ends in one of the ugliest interiors I've ever posted here.
So lately I've been focused on envelope filters which is an effect I've historically not jived with. Mostly not stoked on the slappy funk thing that is often how it's used. In the past I've owned and sold a qtron, an fx25, built the fuzzdog mutron and gave it away. In the last few months I've built the duck box, cdxl, 7 of dwarves, spectron, junk trunk, and flyleaf pcbs. In the end I bonded with 2 that sound nothing alike. The mad bean junk trunk and lectricfx flyleaf.
I was torn between housing them together or separately and then house the junk trunk with its complimentary dirt, the mad bean gas tank that I had also already built up. I Couldn't choose so I didn't. Here's all 3 in an xx. I had to dissect the gas tank to make it fit. I tamed the spaghetti a little more after this photo but it's still chaos up in there.
You can see thewintersoldier's flyleaf build report for a description there, he covered that well. It's like a slightly grimey qtron which is much more pleasing to me.
The junk trunk/gas tank are interesting because they are connected so that the envelope is triggered by your non distorted signal. The distortion doesn't mess with how your articulation interacts with the envelope. So you can have distortion before the envelope without having to change the sensitivity. I don't love the gas tank on its own but It sounds awesome combined with the junk trunk.
Once again, a Max Ernst collage on the box.
