"It is a fairly odd plug-in, I'll be honest. It is a semi-model of this pedal, an optical tremolo Electro-Harmonix put out in the 70s. Three LFOs drive a single VCA, resulting in some quite strange waveshapes. We gave it tempo sync because, well, why not?"

I remember posting about it back in 2006 (scroll).

JH Living VCOs Pre-Order

via JH:

"Hi,

the pre-order phase of my "living VCOs" project has begun.

(See http://www.jhaible.de/living_vcos/jh_living_vcos.html for details about the project.)

Pricing is EUR 27.00 per board (that's for 3 VCOs plus an oscillator
driver!)

plus a single EUR 6.00 shipping flat charge for worldwide shipping,

regardless how many boards you are ordering and where you live.

It does *not* include any customs fees or tax that you may (or may not) have to pay in your county.

What you get is a double-sided printed circuit board with component overlay, approx. size 160mm x 100mmm.

You have to buy the electronic components for this, and build the device, yourself. (Check the above website regularly for updates and building hints, bill of matrials etc.)

If you want to place a pre-order, please send me an email to the following adress:

jhaible@debitel.net

and use the FOLLOWING FORM (fill in your data instead of [],

for instance: "2 Boards" instead of "[quantity] Boards")

===== Start of Email Order Form ===============

Email subject line: Living VCOs PCB order: [quantity] boards

=========================================

Email text:

I'm ordering [quantity] pieces of the Living VCOs PCB for EUR 27.00 per board + EUR 6.00 single shipping flat charge for any number of boards.

I'm aware that I may have to pay additional amounts of customs and tax in my country.

I'm aware that I'm only buying blank PCBs that may help me building an electonic module - I'm *not* buying a diy kit, not a "project" - just pieces of FR4 with copper traces.

I know how to build electronic circuits and I am trained in electrical safety matters.

The seller of these PCBs will not be held responsible for any damage that results from these PCBs, directly or indirectly.

My shipping adress is

My paypal adress is [your paypal adress].
