Sample+hold you can adjust the time non-destructively and bring it back - and LFO is post-buffer as well, so you can make it do all sorts of warbling then back off and return.

It was my go-to destructobox live where I'd run it into a Bassman with 1x15 JBL, crank it up to ungodly, sel the LFO to deep and slow, turn down the time on a loop, and use it as a background pulsing ugly drone.

Yeah, I don't know what I'm in for once I get the power supply working. I would love to circuit bend it but I only mess with battery powered items to avoid shortening my lifespan. Also wanted to see if the chips came out and I could plug them into other boards.

If it takes AC from the wall it almost assuredly has a small transformer inside that just converts that to a smaller DC voltage. Unless you tough the AC contacts directly you should be fine. Its still going to be a low-voltage device.

Its a shame those boards are so big inside otherwise Id attempt putting it in a large enclosure and make it a stompbox

Got a resource question: Best place to get 9 volt battery snaps. Bought some off of amazon and they were cheap crap. Any suggestions?
