Hi Richard,
 
I've not used the Moogerfooger unit so can't compare however I purchased
two of them to give me the stereo option.
 
A side by side comparison is that they are both are set up the same so
it's easy to have identical but inversed settings in stereo.

Hi David

the inverted phase sounds like a similar idea to the moogerfooger
phaser? But presumably it can be used for a stereo input, which the moog
can't. Can you say if the sound is similar? I love the massive sound of
the moog and would like to replicate it in a modular format

For those of you who are not familiar with Oakley Sound Systems,
Oakley is a British designer, Tony Allgood. His designs are for home
construction and conform to the large MOTM format. I used to do a bit
of DIY but time is against me these days and built several of Tony's
designs and crammed them behing Euro format panels. So being a fan of
Tony's modules I was interested when I heard that someone would be
building them under licence from Tony. I contacted Paul Darlow @
Krisp1 (http://www.aurk24.dsl.pipex.com/krisp1/
<http://www.aurk24.dsl.pipex.com/krisp1/> ) and asked if he could
provide in a Euro Format and to my surprise he went off, measured the
PCB's and said yes it is doable.

A few weeks later and these babies arrived

You can see below my homebuilt Oakley modules, they were all hand
drilled and hand written but they work, just look a bit odd.

So what are they like? In a nutshell very nice. For that classic 70's
JMJ type sound they excel.

The design has the option to have the LFO output standard or inverted
and a quick chat with Paul resulted in a toggle switch so I could have
a choice. By feeding the second Equinoxe with the LFO output of the
first you get one rising and one falling making a very rich sound.

This CV control over frequency of course uses either the internal LFO
or there is an ext input for whatever you want.

I don't have the ability to upload sounds at the moment but my units
sound no different from the samples on Tony's site and I have found
many more sounds lurking within these units.

BTW Paul is a great person to do business with, his communications are
superb and the build quality is excellent plus he is open to tayloring
the panels to client spec, which is very good.

I'm now investigating a couple of the New modules based on this
experience.
