Hungry Rat 2hp distortion - opamp comparison

video upload by John Schussler

"Welcome to the niche-y-est of all niche-y eurorack videos. The focus of this video is on tiny differences (or not so tiny) between opamps (operational amplifiers) in the Hungry Rat distortion, a 2hp module made by Modular for the Masses and inspired by the ProCo Rat.

To be fair, you'll still get a good intro to the Hungry Rat, which is a very nice use of 2hp. So if you're not opamp obsessed, skip around and just get the flavor.

If you are interested in opamp contributions to the sound, in this video you'll get to hear 4 different options. The 'bog standard' TL072, which everybody uses for everything; the TLC2262, which I gather is 'special'; the NE5532P; and the B072A.

VCO is a Doepfer A-111 sequenced by Intellijel Metropolix.

Kit Overview # 39 - Roman Sowa´s Pierdzidelko

Published on May 1, 2019 Synth Diy Guy

"A demo of Roman Sowa´s cool new noise maker kit, the Pierdzidelko!
Build video coming soon!"

via Sowa

"DIY kit is what kids today love the most, so here it is, first kit from MIDI-hardware!
It's rather complex build consisting of roughly 150 parts, so prepare for 2 hours of soldering. And hopefully you will enjoy playing it just as much as assembling it. This is four-oscillator cross-modulation drone sound generator, that can also play nice and polite sounds, even controled via external Hz/V signal. But that's not why it was made for. There are 4 identical VCOs, each producing 3 waveforms that can be separately mixed to audio output and to modulation matrix. Each VCO can frequency modulate all other 3 VCOs, so you can expect wild and crazy sounds coming out of it."

This is how it looks like assembled
