I really liked Neutral Labs' first module: Scrat. It's a filter plus distortion in 8hp. But y'know, maybe you have lots of filters and only want the distortion bit, so to the rescue comes Nijel: just 4hp, but using the same sound cards as Scrat (the cards are called "Nuts"), and with plenty of attitude.
So as soon as I heard of Nijel's existence I jumped at the chance to build one (it's a super easy build...all the SMD components are already on the PCB, you just do pots and jacks for the most part). Many thanks to Martin at Neutral Labs for getting me in early.
Sound source: Acid Rain Chainsaw (3 VCO). Envelope: Zadar. Sequencer: Stochastic IG.
00:00 Intro
00:20 Sweeps
01:22 Nuts
03:12 Sequence
08:33 Scrat
12:02 LFO Drive
