They claim they’re getting more Aug 21.

I dunno if I can wait that long 
found 3 more sites that sell them, all out of stock
Small Bear claims to have them
Hmm they are opening their site in a couple days. I guess if you get 10 or so of the weird ones you are probably set for awhile.

The A10k is the output volume, one more reason to leave that out.

Yeah the wave shape is a 100k

sounds good , but it does look a bit cramped for tweaking .

Agreed. Im definitely leaning towards 15cm panel. 3 times the size. Plenty’o’room for tweaking. Even with another knob and two switches

Sales are open, I bought a few. Price nearly twice Tayda’s, but I guess a bird in the hand really is worth two in the bush.

I’ll pick up some today! Thanks for the reminder
How does this work? Always confused by circuits with the bidirectional diodes
Also, isn’t c14 backwards?

Since the internal buffers of the LM13700 introduce a negative offset, the output of the VCO is AC coupled by C14.

I get a 404 error on that link but I’ll look up ac coupling, thanks! I missed that on the schem page

One of the diodes limits the voltage to below ~ +0.7V, the other limits it to above ~ -0.7V. Clip, clip.

fixed the link…
So there’s a negative DC offset after the OTA. You get rid of DC offsets with a capacitor, and since it’s a negative offset, the polarity of the cap here is correct.

I’m also considering ditching the shell volume pot. After playing with it i only want it on 100% and then add in impact vol to taste

Others might want it, but you do you. Others can always make their own version of the board.

It behaves like an output volume is my gripe. Turning down the shell also seems to cut the impact anyway

That’s weird. It shouldn’t. They just vary two different voltages which are mixed at the output stage. The one should not affect the other.
