I just want to concur with Tomy here (sorry to repeat myself listers). This
was a module I fully intended NOT to buy (I thought I didn't need a BP, and I
kind of didn't like the idea of internal LFOs) .... then I heard Paul's demo
file and it turned me around completely, I had to get one (and I'm glad I
did).
Which leads me to mention some of the reasons why we're glad to have you
here, JH. You clearly have at least two areas of interest in your designs,
one being the "classic circuits" (as seen with the MOTM 420, 410, 440), with
the second being powerful and novel modules (like the MOTM 320, and 820 --
which I've heard SO MUCH ABOUT from one list member). I've always been more
interested in the second much more than the first since most modulars I've
used only had that brand of VCF (no choice about topology), but you and Paul
have really turned me around on that one. I hope those who are more
interested in the classic modules will similarly find the more powerful and
exotic modules a great surprise.

Yeah, one of the things that Keen mentions is that you can order JRC4558s,
but you receive NJR4458s (which are claimed to sound bad -- remember we're
talking guitar players here). The magic ones are said to be JRC4558D.
I tend to like my guitar to go preamp to the 410 (no other effects). I
typically use the wa (or flanger) pre distortion -- counterintuitive, but
much more intense sounding.

I agree here! I've got a garage full of styrofoam packing material and a
thousand bags labeled "organic solder".
BTW, someone mentioned putting "weed" in these bags. While that reference is
clearly Stooge protected material (they're movin into out turf guys!) there
are good reasons not to do that.
1) It's illegal!
2) It damages short term memory.
3) Electronic components contain all kinds of bad stuff like solvents, oils,
and other chemicals and lead -- which you probably don't want to be ingesting.
4) It damages short term memory.
