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

[Roman Sowa]

That's a single transistor VCA and indeed it sounds amazing, although a 
bit noisy as there is a lot of gain involved. I used it in my simple VCO 
and it makes fat sound out of otherwise boring clean oscillator.
Here's a short video showing waveshapes on a scope. The input to VCA was 
variable trapezoid to add even more fattness:

And when you add 2nd transistor in reverse, that VCA becomes clean as 
baby butt wipes
