Colorsound Octivider
Another Octave Down, very different from the Synthbox. Cleaner and bassier octave. Modded by me for true bypass. The output is alittle bit below unity.

LED VU meter
Here's a fun and useless little gimmick that you can add to your pedal - a LED VU meter. This was a layout I originally made for a microphone preamp. But it works well in a pedal as well. Here is a Roger Mayer Moongoose pedal that I built, with the LED meter. I also used a fader for the gain pot that I salvaged from an old broken small mixer.
hey, i was looking at the mods made and it basically consists of buffering the input and dropping the output buffer, right? my question is basically: why did you add two independent identical buffers for each stage (one for the oscillator input and one for the dry signal) instead of just using one buffer? was just one buffer not enough, leading to feedback of the wet signal back into the oscillator?

question's more simply: why not drop Q2,R9,C17,R27 and wire blend1+sens3 together?
RaderaI honestly don't remember the details, since this layout was made about 12 years ago. But I think that the JFET input buffer uses two JFETs to better isolate the signal. It's basically the "JFET buffer/splitter" from tagboard effects.
