Building Guitar Effects + Other Circuits

Random Note Generator
This link I’ve been hanging onto for over a year now, Laurier’s Handy Dandy Little Circuits. The guy has quite a collection of various Wah-Wah circuits ranging in complexity and features like an added Fuzz circuit. Through some browsing other little circuitry gems can be found including this simple oscillator collection and a random note generator. Good pleace to get some ideas for experimenting.

    Thanks for the links. The moment i saw how minimal that random note generator was i had to hear it. I think it sounds pretty good for only a handful of components…

    wow, very nice! Thanks for protoboarding it so quick!

    It was really simple and i happen to have all the components lying around. I think with a little work this circuit could become a pretty excellent synth.

    I see you’ve googled 4017 too!
    Yeah, great circuits there.

    I couldnt get this to work for some reason. I used the 555 trigger circuit from that page and that works fine but nothing else seems to be working at all…It was my layout though I think.
