Univibe, univibe, univibe!!!

I drool at the possibility of univibe sound w/ MOTM quality.

While one could argue that the univibe is simply a phasor, the
sound is somehow different. Some suggest it is due to staggered
cap values (powers of ten I believe). J.H. suggested a
voltage controlled offset bypassing the exponential converter
w/ different resistor values for each stage, i.e. at zero volts 
the stages are equal, more voltage changes the spread between
stages.

Other fun guitar effects:
- Fuzz Face (hard to find germanium transistors)
- Electric Mistress Flanger (did this use sad bbs?)
- ts-9 tube screamer (somewhat dependent on jcr4558 op amps
but Jack Orman suggests some mods for using OP275s and others

R. Keen's site is also a good resource: http://www.geofex.com/

And if you really want to make guitarists happy, and force them 
to buy six times as many MOTM modules, a hex preamp adapter for the
roland sk2 pickup. I can only dream about a hex pitch-to-voltage 
convert...
