Yes, the only thing I would do differently is use a different mod board (I really like the plfo mod boards) or maybe try some other values in his. Because if you build the parasit mod board stock it is really fast and I like slower modulation speeds.

I have a ken stone psycho LFO I was saving for a delay .. but I can make another. I will fool around with it. :) in build 3.0 document Fredrik indicates C8 on the 3.0 board changes the rate envelope, maybe he mentions it in the mod board build doc too? Put 3 on a on/off/on SPDT... I love his effects.

Thanks man! Sounded pretty rad when I tested it, still probably prefer my Craig Anderton Ring Mod build though. I'm pretty stoked about the enclosure as I was able to do the graphics pretty quickly and that usually takes me forever. The enclosure is a huge 125 C:

I think I bought it in 2010 and it's just been gathering dust so glad to finally put it to use. Could probably put 10 of these circuits in there but fuck it!

Haha that's rad!! I love me a big enclosure (hurhurhur) but for 2 knob ring mods I always go 1590B .. did a wolf bagger in one last year which I foolishly gave away... I got parts for another..

I was planning on putting the corruptor in a 1590b.. but after all this LFO talk it might end up in a BB or XX depending on if I like that functionality.

I need to start etching. :no:

That look super awesome! This is a really cool circuit. I built one with his additional mod board as my secret santa gift.
Thanks man! You're Secret Santa was pretty damn epic. Thought about adding a mod board but think I'll save it for the next one since I bought an extra board.

Etching is pretty fun, I kinda want to get into silkscreening to do multiple colors but will wait on that as I'm sinking my learning new skills time into learning Eagle.

How is that Wolf Bagger circuit? I was curious about it awhile back....

The wolf bagger is pretty good Imo. It's not like blow my ass off amazing, but if you spend the time with your amp up dialing in the carrier decay it sounds pretty good. There's a single trimmer no volume layout on the Tagboard forum I highly recommend if you give it a try. The blend is really good and I like running it with crispy Overdrive and just a hint of ring mod. Sounds like robots playing classic rock ..

We added a clean circuit, along with a blend control for maximum tonal variation. The "Wormhole" increases the bag of catsiness of the modulation.
