A 20 turn trimmer will not increase your range of adjustment.
Most modulars would be unphased by seeing 15 volts at an input. Remember
that this voltage is current limited by both input and output resistors. For
example, the Serge is stated as being able to handle 25V at its inputs
without issue. It won't worry any of my designs either.
I would avoid plugging a hot voltage into an Analog Solutions module though!
I don't know the cause of this. It may in fact be operating correctly for
what you are doing to it. At the moment I am not in a position to test this
out myself.

functions perfectly (except for hot output), and the transistors were
supplied in an Elby kit. I have emailed Laurie to see if the transistors he
supplied are correct (can't seem to find a datasheet for them).
to drop the voltage of the output right down whilst still maintaining the
correct triangular waveshape?
about this at all? I know it distorts my VCAs pretty quick.
