Schematic 1 and 3 are correct (though 3 is one of the strangest circuit drawings I've ever seen).

I based the Silver Apple on the Wolf Computer but all the controls are different and of course it has the momentary feedback feature. WC is definitely one of my favorite pedals ever.

None are 100% for the most recent iteration at least (and yeah, that third schematic is :wha?: )

Culturejam's is closest though and what I would use.

The wolf cpu will be making a return soon though...

Good, then when I mess this up horrifically I can just throw my hands in the air and buy the real deal.

(And also maybe wave them all around like I just don't care)

The Wolf Computer is awesome. Just a tonne of great, unique tones. For recording especially, it's fabulous.

Anyone here ever try the germanium version?

Does anyone remember Eric posting a suggestion for changing the value of a pot that would get increased control out of the Sag knob? I remember Eric posting on ILF something about that a while back. I ask because one of my favourite things is the monophonic synth-like oscillation between about 12 and 5 o'clock on the Sag knob; I'm not that fond of the motorboating on the other half of the dial.

It may or may not help, but if you turn the squelch to about 1-2 o'clock it will gate the motorboating and oscillation. I'm not sure about the mentioned increased control though. I think it was a 10k or 25k pot for the starve/sag. If you swap it with something bigger, you'd have more fine tuning, as the sweep wouldn't change as drastically.

If you want just that portion of the sweep try a 5k linear or reverse audio pot.

Increasung the value will have the opposite effect.
