What ICs do Easyvibes call for?

The Easyvibe version with two 14-pin ICs, what are those Ics supposed to be?

any quad opamp
a TL074/064/084 or a LM324 should be suitable candidates

  IIRC the '64' is the low current model of quad LM series.
  IDRC exactly...something about the LFO drawing current and ticking, but, the low current OA's being recommended.
Convention creates following, following creates convention.

I used TL074s for mine and I haven't had any problems with ticking, current consumption is a lot higher than John Hollis states for using TL064s though.
My build used one opamp for the phase shift stages and one for the LFO and input stage. I tried LM324s and they worked fine for the LFO/input stage but distorted horribly when used for the phase shift stages.

Where is this layout?
I just etched the GEO board and I'm not that happy with the trace spacing.
Thanks!

Trace spacing is binary: they touch, or they don't.

In response to the questions in the forum - PCB Layout for Musical Effects is available from The Book Patch. Search "PCB Layout" and it ought to appear.

I had to cut three joined traces on the board after I etched. They were in a " binary high state"   I'm afraid that I'll build "bridges of sighs" with my soldering iron. Anyone have a larger traced and wider spaced layout?
Please!

Im not knowledgable in design at all, but am I correct in assuming that one chip causes the LEDs to oscillate in a controlled manner, and one chip is used to amplify the signal that is picked up by the LDRs?  I see no transistors. Do the chips cause the phase sound to occur?
