These are my build notes for the "The suppository of All Wisdom" module
TSOAW is a Eurorack module from Nonlinear Circuits in Western Australia.
The name of the module comes from the words of one of Australia's ex PMs, Tony Abbott.
Andrew's module is supposed to be a (phaser) phase shifter, but in his own words "is so badly designed that it spits, sh!ts and burps all over the place. It can even do it without even using any CV signal."
So it sounds like it would be good for randomly
phase-shifting an input.
This module combines circuits from two of Andrew's fav shifters.
the Steiner Phaser and the Lovetone Doppelganger.
The Steiner phaser uses diode strings as variable resistors.
The Lovetone Doppelganger is a 4 stage LDR based phaser.
Andrew has replaced the Steiner diodes with LEDs which
modulate LDRs as in the Lovetone.
You will need to build a light tight box using headers.
The module is one big vactrol.

This module doesn't look like it has any hard to find parts
The ICs are all TL047 op amps
You will need 4 LDRs
Some NLC words of wisdom :-)
I'm surprised Andrew reckons Tony was only the second worst PM
But I've got a pretty good idea who Andrew thinks was the worst :-)
To be continued...
Part 2 is here;
