"Qwong special fx generator
ok so whats this you wonder ?Well to be honest i havent clue , i got it of someone who knew even less and said it was found in a auction sale collecting dust .It 'says ' echobox on it but to be frank it does not echo in the slightest......no its a noise generator of the FINEST quality and i really mean that , ive owned loads , used ems synthi , 4ms Tri noise generators and plenty of analogues and this is up there with them - its alive , unpredictable and defies logic , its vintage i think or has some really quality components .Ok so what is it though?

Well from the images you can see the switches.It appears to have 3 x vcd's ( 2 way latchable) ? voltage controled delays or maybe digital oscilators?They seem to be the noise component or switch in variable waveforms but it has pitch knobs and modulation and lfo knobs also and also a matrix of 8 x phone jacks ( for modular patching )It also has 2 flip switches ( one in need of a new toggle ) .Now how this all works i really really dont know and ive experimented with it and its REALLY powerfull and i mean that , this is no circuit bent toy ( with the greatest respect ) and its feel and also use aswell as sound veer towards the experimental electronics of the 1950;s. . . its an odd one , when i switched it on and got some sound going it immediately felt very different from any gadget ive ever used .I sampled this and now i am selling it but i can say without a doubt its creating sounds i cant get out of Any modular synth , freaky radiophonic stuff , at times it sounds like the things picking up satelites or something , very radio like and at times like strange transmissions are being picked up ( seriouisly !) at other times ( depending on the huge patchability and the 3 vcd switches) its more like cross modified oscillators but with very unique and digitized aswell as analogue sound.Its hard to describe but more akin to stockhausen or early electronic experimentalists and modern day benders , its really very good for vocal like fx and strange alien bird sounds and chants and stuff like this but is semi chaotic so just a small tweak or flip of switch and its away again onto something new.It feels at times like there alot of feedback networks going in it and its by far one of the most ' alive ' sound generators ive used .Ive put no reserve but i not 100% convinced i want to sell it !......it is realy cool this one and one from raymond scotts lab or it could be ! it feels like total 1950's electronics to me and its sound tends to suggest its been made with vintage components and possible some old lab gear wired together , ive used enough gear to know toy circuits as opposed to expensive components and this sounds and feels like its older and handmade.I dont think its bent but a diy project and a good one.

Heres a demo - just a jam i did in 30 minutes - 36mb so large but i couldnt stop,No overdubs or edits , just a little verb on 1 channel .

the unit also has audio inputs , outputs and a built in speaker .Its full patchable ! anything seems to patch to anything and make weird sounds.It has a psu with it but also can be battery operated it seems."
