The Wonderful Dual Wogglebug!

YouTube via sduck409
"This is a demo of some of the capabilities of my recently built Dual Wogglebug. The idea here was to improve on my earlier builds of #3 Standard Wogglebugs by adding some of the features of the Wiard Wogglebug, such as the child tone outs and several leds. I only scratch the surface of the functionality of this device with this video - this is a very richly featured source of random voltages and sounds. Please excuse the nerdy guy at he beginning."

BTW, don't miss this post on why everyone should consider a modular.

Maestro Oberheim Uss-1 Synthesizer Pedal

via this auction
"The USS-1 was created by Tom Oberheim, who designed several other of the early Maestro effects. The USS-1 is not truly a synthesizer as we know them today, this one is really one of the first multi-effect units with a few extras. Also note that this unit is also a bit larger than multi-effect floor units of today as well. Built in power supply, built like a tank, vintage sounds....it's all here! Features: Distortion, Filter Sample/Hold Function, Phaser, Envelope Filter, and Subharmonic Enhancer. A favorite of guitar whiz Al DiMeola."

You can find some shots of the inside of a Maestro in this post.

New Élkorus - analog chorus unit

via jordi

"My tech Sergio has put together a major revamping of the élkorus, a 1U chorus effect that you posted some time ago [all posts]. It is basically a reproduction of the circuit, involving vintage TCA-350 bbd ICs, of the ensemble effect featured in the ARP solina string machine.

Among the improvements, it can process stereo signals now. Plus, CV ins and outs have been added, with the interesting possibility of creating a chorusy effect modulating external VCOs.

However, the nature of the effect remains unchanged from v.1 - he's still using fully analog circuitry.

Sergio has updated his site as well, all the technical info is there, as well as audio samples: www.synthoma.net. Scroll down for a translation." Note these are available for sale.

"The élkorus is a chorus unit that emulates the classical "ensemble" sound of those string machines from seventies. That emulation is not achieved by any DSP technology or software. The élkorus sounds analog because is really analog." more info here (scroll for English).
