Here's a favorite that I use all the time. Two Oscs, a little pulse width and pitch for each one, all neatly tied into a touch-sensitive package:

And the back, with power switch, outputs and mixer knob:

That is too cool. Love the lamp pull switch on the back. Very zen like, in a pedal hacker kind of way.

Went to your site and discovered all your very sweet projects. But is there any additional info on the CopperBox?

Doh, forgot to check back in the DIY forum. The Copper Box internals came from a kit, the maker of which went out of business and dissapeared. A basic two-osc IC with control as described and not much else going on in there. If you're super interested, I can take a pic of the little board.

Also worth adding is that the case used to be one of those 1960's carbon paper invoice writing boxes.

That thing is beautiful! Looks like it came from a traditional Japanese house with paper walls.

I made a Gristleizer in a case used for the same thing.

What an unlikely compliment. Thank you, it kinda does.

So, I hadn't heard of a Gristleizer till just now - interesting. Looks rugged enough for stage use in that case.
