Green Dream Drone Machine

Mini drone project, not complete just yet, I built a prototype and forgot to add 4 resistors to the oscillators which allowed them to modulate each other, the finished version will work the way I intended. There is a blog post on this on my site with more info:

This is how it is supposed to sound:
green machine revision
this is the first finished prototype that doesn't modulate even though I say it does in vid!!:

How do I insert pictures and make them not massive?
I would post pictures but when I try, they are like A3 size on my 13" monitor so here is a link to the finished boxes, awaiting art and green knobs (my partner is going to ink on a design, better than my nasty permanent marker graffiti)

That sounds bloody horrible. Keep up the good work.

If at first you don't succeed, stick it through a fuzzbox.

thanks
it's actually very useable, i'm kinda sweeping through sounds in the demo, it's really easy to focus on something you liek the sound of, and with a bit of delay and/or reverb it sounds great! I use drone boxes like this in my live stuff all the time now
yeah this one is 40106 based, 4 oscillators mixed with diodes, they go into a 4049 for distortion (like they need it) the whole thing has a voltage drain activated by the LDR

Thanks! I use a couple of homemade mics and drones and some circuitbent bits - mainly my pss790 which was one of my first bends (although I use an updated version now - thats what kicks out the nicer melodic drones) and I use two pedals, a boss reverb (RV3 maybe?) and a digitech DL-8 - I tend to use the reverb so my vocals don't sound too dry and the DL-8 to create loops with its infinite feedback. I'm playing at Supernormal in a couple of weeks and bricking it!
