Notes:
This build will fit in a 1590A with low profile jacks (Smallbear's are the best).
Several changes were made from the original design to reduce parts. I removed the in- and output loading
and the output section has been changed slightly to use only a trim instead of volume pot.
Use tantalum, mini electrolytics, and monolithic ceramics where necessary to conserve space.
The ramp mod is more effective at slower speeds. Note that it is normal for it to speed up the rate slightly.
I *highly* recommend using a vactrol for a richer sound. VTL5C1 was very nice, much better than an NSL-32.
The color of the external LED has a big effect on the sound. Red is brighter; superbright blue is mellower.
The 100R and 47uF electronically isolate the LFO. They might be overkill, but they help prevent possible ticking.
