Just got my EPFM

[Steve Varner]

I bought this book recently (Electronic Projects for Musicians). Most of these
are to be used as guitar effects. I plan on modding some of them for a modular
synth. I'm looking at the headphone amp, the various fuzz filters, the
compressor/limiter, the ring modulator, the mixer, the phase shifter, and the
envelope follower. The standard tone unit looks cool - might be handy.
The Vector-Paks look really cool, but have you priced these thing? Geez Louise
they're expensive! The Frac-Paks from Paia are cheaper. I just make my own 19"
panels for everything. If the module is small, I put two modules on one panel.
If the module is pretty big (lots of knobs like a VCO), I put two on a 2U
panel.
There sure are a lot of helpful hints in this book, but Craig seems to use some
odd chip numbers.
