Table-top, 19" rackmount, oversized stompbox - whatever you want.
It's designed such that it can be supplied by a 18V AV wallwart; all the
required components are on the board already. Or you can use your own 
transformer
(toroidal transformer, and 2 x 18V recommended), plus the usual fuses and
mains voltage connector.
Or, you could omit the PSU components completely, and connect it to +/-15V
stabilised power supply as ausein in MOTM. (There is no MOTM, or other 
standard
connector, nor pcb mounted pots, though; so you'd need some mechanical 
skills
to integrate it into a standard MOTM module.

This depends: whether you want an input level potentiometer, two output
level potentiometers, bypass switch, stereo channel reverse switch, mix
inversion switch, vibrato/phasing switch, etc.

Without all this, you have:
"Pitch" 100k lin for manual sweep
"Resonance" 100k lin for regeneration
"LFO Rate" 100k log
"Osc Level" 10k log

You might to add a small V/Oct adjust pot on the front panel also.

Not yet.

And the (slightly better) CA3046 isn't more expensive, either!
