Usagi Electric | Vacuum Tube Atari Punk Console @UsagiElectric | Uploaded January 2022 | Updated October 2024, 20 hours ago.
Happy New Year! To kick the new year off, we’re going to do something completely out of the norm – we’re building DIY synth stuff out of vacuum tubes! Well, maybe that’s not totally out of the norm, haha. The Atari Punk Console is one of the most quintessential circuits you can build when taking your first steps into the world of DIY synth stuff, so I figured why not make it out of vacuum tubes!
