[sdiy] Guitar Synth update

[Harry Bissell Jr]

There is not a lot of info out there...mainly a few
photos of what I did at www.wiseguysynth.com
under the "AHMW" photos section.

I used the G-vox pickup and did the hex fuzz and
filter driven from envelope followers.  You can find
the envelope follower schematic in EDN Design Ideas
"Envelope Follower combines fast response, lowest
ripple" by Harry Bissell Jr (me)

Piezos into hex fuzz should work fine
