My latest creation.
This is a DEFX board, one of their early releases. And boy howdy, it shows.
The board is huge, the offboard wiring is absolutely phucked, and the build doc is nigh unreadable. That said: she's allliveeeeeee!!!
I quite like this one. It goes to some wild sonic places, and stays very musical on the ride there. So much tweakability and ins and outs that Im not sure I'll find a use for it all.
Hints for tuning trimpots:
The VCO trimpot can be set via scope or by ear. Honestly? It's super easy to set by ear. Theres a null point that is clearly audible in the travel of this pot, where the noise shifts between a higher pitched and lower pitched crackle.
The transformer board is pretty self-explanitory. Just trim it till the carrier signal isn't like...insane.
Vactrol trimmer, just turn the gain down, turn on octave mode, and reduce until you get some nice modulation tails on notes.
Then, fuck around. It's fun.
The name of this one is owed to a wikipedia dive. Ring stringer, string ringer, string theory, blah blah...connections to mathematics...what the...the fuck is this? Monsterous Moonshine? Oh fuck yes. This I can work with.
Ta daaaaaaa
