New site coming, and The Reptilian BoM

I'm trying to get a new site put together that will hopefully be a bit more helpful than this. You can check out out at www.LCF-Ind.com. It will have build files, more in-depth rundowns of each module, and just general updates. In the mean time here's a BoM of the Reptilian Kit.


Note: Some of the breakout boards in the kits will already have the 5-pin connector soldered to it. There was a misprint on the some of the boards so I soldered the wires in place to avoid any confusion.

How The Reptilian works

So I had a few people ask how exactly the Reptilian works, so here is a quick example. It uses two comparator stages to create intentional "cross-over distortion" I'll go deeper into it later with a video but for now enjoy this diagram.

The Reptilian: Now available!

Over the past few months I've been getting a lot of people asking me when I would have Reptilians to sell. Well, after a long wait I finally have them ready to ship! It is available as an assembled module or as a kit.

The Reptilian is a voltage controlled distortion/waveshaper. It uses comparators to create crossover distortion to distort/shape the incoming signal, adding harmonics. A passive low-pass filter helps round out square-wave-like waveforms which are sometimes difficult to alter, due to the nature of comparators. The module uses two crossover distortion stages, the first one is capable of being controlled via CV.
