The Toolbox thing = hyperawesome. LOVE the sound samples. Any more details on the design? I'm not sure the book you are referring to in the blog...

Thanks!

There are basically 3 identical effects on each side so I can run it in stereo.

Each side has:

A Hot Springs Reverb from PAIA (google 'em)

A ring modulator from Craig Anderton's book "Electronic Projects for Musicians"

A fuzz from the same book.

I just drilled a bunch of holes in a tool box and mounted all the things inside with a power supply.

Like I mentioned in the post - the schematics I built the effects from were outdated so I had to find replacement parts.

The ring modulator is great - I have the pirch control mounted to these big knobs I can "play" that creat really crazy overtones. You can here me twisting the knobs on the ring modulator sample.

There's a link to PAIA and Anderton's book embeded in the post.
