A bass drum and a bass voice all in one. This one was nice to build I has multiple pcb’s but it’s well ordered. The manual is not the best but also not the worst. I need to use this module more then I do right now. I had it in my rack for a while not calibrated. Took it out just a week ago and did calibrate it. I had some trouble getting the sweet spots maybe it’s better now it’s calibrated not sure yet.

I can do bass lines and kick drums, when if done some more testing I will update on how I feel about this this module for now it’s not fair to give it a rating. There is a new version of this module released by Weston Audion the B2. I hope to get my hand on that one two just to be able to compare them myself. I think you can’t buy the B1 anymore.

Difficulty to build: Medium, some may find it hard. Has multiple pcb’s, can take up some time but well ordered and spaced

This module is based on a famous mixer. As feedback modules tells us: Sound design channel strip based on a famous late seventies small mixer used by many electronic music bands. I like this one as it can overdrive drum sounds quite nicely. The chip it needs can be hard to find.

This is a modules based on a famous mixer. As feedback modules tells us: Sound design channel strip based on a famous late eighties small mixer used mostly for the well known TB303 distortion sound. Well indeed it does. It can overdrive your sound but still makes it sound awesome. I believe this was the one where you need to match you transistors.

I bought this after the 1bit delay cause I was loving there build manuals and I was in need for some noise. Well this modules just makes some noise. From white to pink and dark and digital. If you are in need for noise I can recommend this module. Its also available as a build module. I build the THT version but there is also a SMD version. What more can I say about it.. it’s noise

Oh this one I love so much. Still think about building a second one. These delay is something special. During the build I feel in love with how they have made the manual. Even if your not building this check it out I think it’s one of the best way to make a build manual. The sound this thing can produce is amazing. All depends a bit on how you calibrate it. It can be very clean but also take you to distorted territory

The nice thing is you can output both taps and make it into a “stereo” module. Shipping did take some time but if you are looking for a special delay put this one on your short list and be sure to check out some YouTube videos.

It can also be bought as a build module from feedback modules

For some people it is the best snare they have. I don’t like this one that much. Maybe I need to do some calibration on it again. I read more diy version are difficult to calibrate. It should be a 808 snare and like the Hihat and bassdrum it is designed on the 808. So don’t know why I don’t really like it but it is what it is.

After the bass drum I build the hi-hats. These are also based on the 808. I really like the fade switch. This can close the open hi hat when the closed one is hit or can leave it open, or somewhere in between. It has a great effect on the decay of the open hi hat. It takes external noise if you want to.

I’m a big fan of this hi-hat. the one think I would change is the panel color, because I like black panels more. Maybe I will change that in the future.

This is my goto Bass drum. It was one of my first builds. It’s bassed on a 808 bass drum. Has CV inputs for pitch, decay and distortion. Overall it has a nice sound and it can be distorted. Great for techno bassdrums.
