McSpunckle Gnomeratron VTF
This was a request. You could use external pots instead of trimmers. Schematic available here.
4ms Standard Swash
Here is the larger version (now discontinued) of the Noise Swash. One of our members (Kornel) was given the schematic by Dan from 4ms and he asked me to draw a layout for it. I don’t have permission to publish the schematic but the layout matches it. Please do not ask for it.
4ms Noise Swash
Another project by Commonsound/4ms. You can find all info and schematic on their website here. The original circuit uses a 1M Lin Pot with internal switch for the “Self Oscillation”. I’ve used a regular pot and an extra SPST switch but you can just use the original if you prefer.
Madbean Fencepost (Noise Gate / Expander)
Here is Brian’s version of Armdnrdy’s project from the DIY Forum. You can find the original thread with all the infos here and Brian’s version here.

A FREQUENCY control lets the musician eliminate noise components without impairing the envelope or sustain of … Read more
Lastgasp Art Laboratories Rattle Crow Restive Filter
Just saw this schem posted in the forum and thought it looked like a pretty cool effect. The original has a funky LED setup and uses the 3rd pole of the 3PDT to cut the 9V connection to the whole circuit. I have drawn this layout to fit our normal offboard wiring. Info from manufacturer: … Read more
Death By Audio Sound Saw
I would advise caution before you proceed :o) This has been put together after a request, but it’s based on a schematic of unknown origin so I don’t know whether the scheme even works never mind the layout. A couple of things do make me think it could be a good trace though. The volume … Read more
The Tone God Finish Line
Another interesting and simple design from The Tone God archives. Should make a nice quick project to build. From the Tone God’s site: A simple ten part non-selective frequency tripler. It creates octave-like sounds on lower settings and on higher settings generates a metallic swell effect through out the decay of the note(s). It is … Read more
