Hey all, well I designed this for my first year uni project, I've been meaning to post it for a while but I'm a lazy sod. It's probably not the most original design but it works and sounds good, well I like it anyhow  :P

There's probably a few areas I could have done better or change, but as I said, it's been built (on stripboard and pcb) and works. Feel free to make any suggestions to improve it. The resonance will oscillate when at max, the limiting resistor coming off the pot could be lowered slightly to stop that but I kind of like it. I learnt quite a bit messing around trying to get certain parts working, I'm trying to whip together an envelope follower to drive the LDRs as well, which is why I've been pestering people with my posts (sorry like), and which I still haven't got working yet.

I'll try to get some samples done when I can but I haven't boxed it up yet, as I said, I'm a lazy lazy bloke  ;)

Here's the schematic anyhow:
