Saw phase shifter. It's a dual op amp and 4 resistors, you can't afford not
to add it -

I like the idea of distortion thrown in there too, something that could be
placed/patched either pre or post VCF/VCA. I'm working on a synth-ified
ProCo Rat if you're interested.

Rats love synths and vice versa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rYF3W01Zms

I have a ProCo Rat II, and I think it's OK on synths.   My favorite by far
is the Boss OBD-3 (bass overdrive).   The low end is ridiculous in
comparison to the Rat (which sounds a bit thin on really low end stuff).
The Rat is great for an edgy high-end lead, though.

My favorite combo is the Crumar Spirit -> OBD-3 -> Ampeg SVT II preamp - >
Mixer.  BOOM
