Hey Larry,
Thanks much for the photo link. Very tidy wiring. I want a Stooge
panel like yours for my Low Pass Gates, and a 3-pot long Stooge bracket
would work for me too. I have cut several of them to fit my oddball
panel designs.
One question: Cynthia says it is customary to use Amber color LEDs in
the Low Pass Gates. Did you use Amber? If so, what Mouser part
number? Ok, that was a two-part question.
Heh, you think that's a lot of wiring. You should see my latest
FrankenModule in a custom Stooge panel: One MOTM-101 S&H with noise,
plus two Oakley S&H modules, all in the 2U space that the MOTM-101
originally occupied. The Oakley boards stack on top of each other
behind the MOTM board, all on a Stooge 4-pot long bracket. A 1/2" x
3/4" notch had to be cut out of the lower corner of the MOTM board to
allow a jack to fit where the MOTM slew pot used to be. The bracket was
cut out, too. Compared to this the Low Pass Gates looks like a piece
cake! There's an old Chinese proverb that says a synthesizer of a
thousand modules begins by stripping and tinning one wire. (Or
something like that.)
