[sdiy] Methods for Analogue Synth Mods

[Chris Crosskey]

How about a perfect combinatin of them all.....find yourself a stomp-box and
convert it's circuit to line level I/O, do it with a couple or three
(Chorus, flange and octaver or analogue delay or whatever) then mount  the
circuits in a 19" rackbox.....great intro to all the basics including the
finishing touches and second-hand cheapo stomps won't cost you more than a
few pounds, sometimes even free.....yo ueven get to play with PSU building
when you try to make a 9V positive mains PSU for them.....or use a regulated
wall-wart and realise why so many people put up with them....
