CA3094 again

[The Iron Chef]

I have a bunch of CA3094at metal can ic's and I need something to make with them.  I dont know what.  Searching this site returns *mostly info on Small Stones.  I dont need to fix or build a Small Stone as I built the Tonepad CA3080 version and it works very well. Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Have you built a compressor?  The ross/mxr compressor uses that IC

Actually it doesn't.

If you are VERY ambitious, you can use those chips in an attempt to clone the EHX Microsynth.

If you are somewhat less ambitious, there are a number of DOD pedals that use the 3094 OTA chip.  I think there is a compressor and an autowah in their "Performer" series that use them.

I've always wanted to build a little Smoky/LM380 type amp from one of those. They can dissipate up to 600mW in Class A.

Because they are OTA and the output of the OTA is a current, you can set the bias of the output signal to whatever you want, so using two in parallel, or in a bridge connection, would get you up to 1.2W in class A and the biasing should be easier than normal...

Basically, the CA3094 is the 3080 on steroids...

No problem.  They're cousins.  An easy mistake to make.
