[sdiy] what opamp for "warmth"? (I know, I know...)

[Tom Wiltshire]

Yeah, I was going to suggest an OTA too. I suppose a differential pair might be another option (basically the input curve from an OTA).

The LM13700 is one of the few chips that I would say actually has "a sound", and that sound is definitely vintage.
