Morula Auto Wah
Here’s a simple auto wah circuit with a pretty low parts count I thought was interesting. Not a lot out there on it, but it uses a single CD4049UBE to create an LFO and wah audio path. The depth of the effect is controlled by the LFO. Should fit nicely in a 1590B. Here’s the … Read more

If you remember correctly we were in communication with Godlyke sometime in the beginning of TWA’s venture into the creation of the LD-01 Little Dipper. They were keeping us informed, … Read more
