his buddha box is homemade. He took a chinese praying machine then ran it through a toy megaphone PCB, threw in some patchbay and inputs and voila! A crazy ass box. I've got my prayer box on the way so I can fab one up

yes, but he used an original buddah box to make his super sweet juiced up one. the original is here...

No i was talking about the enitre setup he made , but he didn't use the FM3 version of the box. Near the end of that post, he talks about which one he used, which is called a Chinese Electronic Praying to Buddha Machine - it's gold with chinese writing on the speaker - like this one
