Box O Trix

[Tom Adam]

Updated with some pics of the finished BOT.
I'm quite happy with the result.
I hope to get some samples done sometime next week.

Hi,

I recently built a Box O Trix. Info here

Some pic's of my unit here

This thing can make some real noise. It's always harsh though, 
no subtle distortion here. 
I like the gate a lot. It can really kick in fast. The 
compressor is nice, but I doubt that the sound quality is the 
same as an of the shelf compressor. The Fat's are nice, but 
when twisting the drive knob, there is some noise. Nothing to 
bad though. The Tubes are really destroying the sound, you need 
to use them together with the gates. The Dirt box is yet 
another distortion unit that really works well on my xOxbOx. I 
won't need another distortion unit soon;-) 
I hope to have some samples early next week.
But first I need to make me an enclosure, solve some last 
issues, and learn to use the BOT....

Cheers,
Tom
