Bow Wow


I finished the Gristlizer Prototype.
put it in a box for Jelle to try out.
although i had to tell him i'm not fully satisfied with it yet - the Fet i used might not be up to it, or maybe it's inherent to the design, but in certain knob positions you hear the LFO bleeding through more than i would like. mostly w/ Ramp Up and Square - seems the steep falling edge is responsible.
Will do just fine for industrial type processing - both throbbing and gristleing -  but i will definitely have to come back to it later. I'm a perfectionist and perfect is a skinned knee, apparently.

So i started repairs on that Melos Effectmatic box. it used to crackle like hell, and it was unresponsive in certain settings (if not all.)
It has now officially been fixed by getting a certain out-of-whack voltage divider up on its feet again.
thing is, now it's lying here open and unscrewed and with its guts bare: i feel this one has room for improvement as well.. Oww boii. blend? sensitivity control? master volume? wider range? hmm.
if i can find my capital M, the Modding can begin.
