I went to the thrift store one day last year and found both the 460 and 470 sitting there. I had to get them both! I haven't bent them yet, but plan too! But I thought the sounds that come out of these sounded great! I like what you did with them. I hope I don't screw mine up. I never bent anything yet! I gonna practice on smaller cheap ones first.
Ok, I have everything hooked up bar the phazer, I found another resistor to replace to alter the depth of the LFO on the symphonic sound though, on the other side of the 8 legged chip. Do you mean you are feeding in a home-made osc to get phazing?
@circuitben From what I remember it was just just a case of feeding the outgoing audio signal from one of the op-amps back into the first pre-amp after the FM chip (through a pot & cap). Basically just poke around and listen out for some loud screech, and adjust the pot until it sounds right. It's the same process as making a feedback oscillator (VL-1, PSS-9, etc) except in this case you wanna feed the signal into the chorus circuits (before the main amp circuits).
@circuitben Hi Feller, yep it's an LTC. You can just about get enough freq. from a 4093 or a 555, although you won't be able to get much pitch-up. Pipe the new clock straight into the corner pin of the big FM chip.
LFO comes from hacked chorus, just need to replace a resistor on the analog board and wire in a couple of extra LEDs for vactrol. Phazer was just a feedback oscillator into the chorus circuits, through a small cap.
@squidfanny Sweet, I'll have a dig around as soon as I get a spare day. :)
I'll be in that Liverpool soon enough, consider the greetings passed on.
Thanks for the response, I've been messing with the chorus on the pss-450, sounds like it does similar stuff, although not as effectively. More like Daft Punk style.
Is this for sale? Or do you sell annnnny of your things?

@gnarlywreckagedude Hi, yes unfortunalely I have to sell some of my machine's occasionally (otherwise there'd be no room to move in my house)....
This one was sold a few months back, maybe it's about time to make another one:)

Is this using the Ltc1799? I've got one in my shed, waiting for some love.

Hey, say Hi to Trippy for me if you see him :)

That's so good! The bending done has created some great new sounds & makes the accompaniments just so much better :)
