Circuitbenders.co.uk DrumBs Module

Anyone have any experience building this module? I didn't see anything in the search for this one. I guess it's a tweaked version of the Syntom II. Any pitfalls, pointers, etc? I have built a few modules but this will be my second procuring the materials rather than a kit.

Hadn't heard of it, but seems like a nice project:

Also, just when I thought "Gaaaaaahhhhhh, wiring!" I noticed they have a pot-board, so yeah, all good.

Yeah I don't think I would have went for that. I'm a fan of the K.I.S.S. method.

I built one over the weekend and I'm really impressed with the range of sounds that you can get from it. It'd loud too, with a really clean output. All of the parts are freely available and pretty cheap. The LM13700 chips are stocked at Tayda too for about $2 each (you'll need 2).

It's a pretty straightforward build, and it gives you the option to mount the electrolytic caps on the other side of the board if you don't have low-profile ones. You don't particularly need the spacers as the headers hold it all together safely. The build guide on the website is really good too, and there isn't much calibration to do with it.
