These are great, but if your'e looking for something a little more simple
try to find the book "Electronic Projects for Musicians" by Craig
Anderton (I think). Anyway, its got lots of great stuff like distortion
boxes, compressors, ect, and a device called the "super tone control".
Its a non voltage controlled filter, so its real simple, and also it sounds
great. It has knobs for mixing hipass, lopass and bandpass responses, you
can also get a notch out of it. Plus knobs for resonance (it self
oscillates) and frequency. Runs on a 9v battery. Its just a quad
opamp, 5 pots/knobs, and a handfull of resistors and caps. The book
even provides a pcb layout. A friend built one for me about 2-3 weeks
ago, he said it was a total of $30 to make: box, parts, jacks, pots,
knobs and all. I've been running drum machines and a cz101 thru it
nonstop since I got it.
I want to build about 5 of these and make myself a cheap little parametric
eq. But I dont know how to make it stereo. ???
