Modified DOD FX70 Stereo Flanger
I have had this old DOD Flanger kicking around in my parts box for about 10 years. I finally got around to testing the mods on it, and WOW! It’s a killer.

Pitch control for cassette players
Figured I might as well post this stripboard layout that I did for the cassette player speed mod. It is based on a drawing from the old Casper Electronics website. Only requires a small piece of stripboard (4×6 ) and 5 components. There are other ways to affect the speed of a tape player motor … Read more
Hing Hon EK-001 by POTAR

Yamaha Mu-5 Build Pics
I bent this Yamaha MU-5 a few months back and never posted the pics here. The ic is surface mount and has tiny legs that make it a chore to solder to, but the results are worth all the solder stress. I love to chain this thing to my Roland Tr-505 or Alesis HR-16 and … Read more
