So I swapped in a 100 ohm 1/4 watt resistor and I'm definitely
sticking with this one - the last quarter or so of the resonance pot
gives self oscillation now, but it yields a tone at just one
frequency. But this way I have plenty of room to play with.

One thing I noticed is that when I switch on the overdrive the
bandpass out level is very low and sounds pinched vs. the other
outputs... but other than that it sounds NICE - in a nasty way.
