>From: sasami@...Nicholas Briggs uses an elderly mic of some kind, a mic pre which can be overdriven, and a Moogerfooger ring modulator pedal for the dalek and cybermen voices in the new series and the Big Finish audio stories he writes and/or acts in.
>A diode based modulator is a good place to start for making Dalek voices, as
>that is what they used originally. (I have no idea what they use now.)
here are some photos:

i'm also nearly nearly certain it's a square or pulse wave used for the modulation.
specifically to thread parent:
so what kind of dalek are you building? tv dalek, new dalek, movie dalek?
you can email me offlist. i would assume dalek building is OT on Ken's synth list.
