This thing is outrageous. Just plugged it in for about an hour. It sounds.. insane. It's definitely going to take me a while to figure out settings I will consistently use. It's exactly what I thought it would be, which is a pretty crazy but predictable synth sounding fuzz/harmonizer. The dude who built it sent a little manual with descriptions of all knobs and switches which is a nice touch for a handmade do dad. Build quality seems solid, gonna change out the in/out and footwitches for high quality shit and check the guts out.

The drone is cool. The footswitch has a photocell for manipulation of the intensity or pitch of the drone note. Wtf. Why? Who knows?

All in all I like it a lot after an hour, but I BST shit all the time so only time will tell if this is a keeper.

Now I'm just waiting for my CT5 to show up to throw in front of this monster. Oh yeah and for another run of the TWA Great Divide. Oh and a 4046M when I have enough cash.

My girl is gonna murder me.

Sure Man! PLLone (Schumann PLL clone) manual
By: digi2t
PLL SECTION
ENGAGE footswitch – Engages or bypasses the effect. Red LED indicates that the effect is on.
CON. switch – Increases the response of the unit to lower frequency inputs. Works well for bass, or can be used to
create a more gated type response. NOTE: Engaging the CON switch will attenuate the Clean Output signal volume.
PREAMP – Controls the input signal strength.
TRIGGER – This a voltage divider control, which directly affects the sensitivity of the PLL. It’s most sensitive at the 12
o’clock position, but in this position, it will cause the squarewave to fire. For maximum sustain it’s best to set this as
close to the middle, but not so close that you here the unit generate noise. Swinging to the + or – side augments that
side of the wave. NOTE: This control is directly interactive with the preamp, i.e. the higher the preamp setting, you’ll
have to set the trigger further from the middle to kill any squarewave noise.
MULTIPLY / DIVIDE PHASE switches – These control the priority between the squarewave, and the multiply or divide
voices.
LOOP SPEED switch – These control the amount of note ramp up, and decay. There are three settings, 1 being the
shortest ramp/decay, and 3 the longest.
LAG – This works in conjunction with the Loop Speed switch. For each position of the Loop Speed, the Lag control
increases/decreases the ramp/decay for that position. NOTE: This control is interactive with any C.V. input as well,
changing the pitch of the note produced by the VCO.
RESPONSE – This controls how quickly the PLL locks onto a note. NOTE: This control is directly interactive with the LAG
control. If note ramping/decay is desired, setting this too low will prevent the PLL from picking up the note to
ramp/decay. NOTE: This control is interactive with any C.V. input as well, changing the sensitivity of the PLL to the note
produced by the VCO.
LOOP TRACK – This controls how tightly the PLL locks onto, and tracks a note. At the minimum position the note
produced will have a vibrato quality to it. NOTE: This control is directly interactive with the LAG control. If note
ramping/decay is desired, and you increase the LOOP SPEED and LAG controls, do not set the LOOP TRACK too high. Too
high of setting will lock the PLL onto the note too hard, not allowing the note to ramp/decay.
MULTIPLY selector- Sets the upper octave interval voice desired.
DIVIDE selector – Sets the lower octave interval voice desired.
SQUAREWAVE VOLUME- Controls the volume of the SQUAREWAVE output.
MULTIPLY VOLUME – Controls the volume of the MULTIPLY output.
DIVIDER VOLUME – Controls the volume of the DIVIDER output.
SQUAREWAVE SHAPE – Controls the tone of the SQAUREWAVE.
MASTER VOLUME – Controls the total volume output of the unit.
DRONE SECTION
DRONE footswitch – Turns on/off the drone note oscillator.
DRONE SWAP footswitch – Switches between two different oscillator notes. The yellow or green LED will light when
engaged, indicating which side frequency is engaged.
FREQUENCY SELECTOR switch – 1= FREQ.1 control drone note output, 2= FREQ.2 control drone note output, and 3=
drone note of combined FREQ. controls. Left switch controls the left side, right switch for right side.
FREQ. 1/FREQ.2 controls – Sets drone oscillation note. Left side is indicated by the yellow LED, and right side by the
green LED on the DRONE SWAP footswitch.
MOMENT SECTION
MOMENT footswitch – This is a non-latching switch. It engages only while depressed. You can use this footswitch to cut
in, or cut out the MULTIPLY and/or DIVIDE voices.
MOMENT ON switches – Turns the MOMENT function on/off for the MULTIPLY and/or DIVIDE sections.
ENGAGE/INTERRUPT switches – Assigns how the MOMENT footswitch will function when depressed for the MULTIPLY
and/or DIVIDE voices. ENGAGE sets the voice off, turning it on when depressing the footswitch. INTERRUPT sets the
voice on, turning it off when depressing the footswitch.
INPUTS/OUPUTS
IN – Instrument input.
OUT – Effect output.
CLEAN OUT – Unaffected IN signal output. NOTE: No signal output when the effect is bypassed.
C.V. – Control voltage input (0-5v) for the PLL VCO.
POWER JACK – The unit requires a 12v AC – 1000mA power supply.

Which is a damn shame because he's always into interesting stuff.
