I want one, too, but I want CV in on it...Aen? I've gotten pretty good at modding DIY boxes for CV, but I'm not sure what kinds of ICs these oscillators use...555, 556 - something else?

Hey Aen,
Would it be ok to starve the voltage on the Squaresnakes or would that damage it? I'm afraid to try...

Of course, it's fine. Circuits cannot be damaged by insufficient power. And the Dwarfcraft synths all sound pretty rad when they get starved

DEW IT! Its easy, Beavis Audio has a great tutorial on it. You can also wire up a switch (true bypass style) and have it footswitchable, like the Power Struggle.
I might sound weird, me telling people to build their own, but it's so simple, I only sell them for people who don't have the time or energy to make their own.
