MOTM

I would like to recommend the CGS Tube VCA Timbre modulator for three reasons:

1) It sounds like what you want.  From what I've heard it is very
warm and smooth sounding, it's largely voltage controllable, and it
can produce asymmetric distortion.  One would fit nicely in 1U with
four knobs and four jacks.

2) You can get the PCB's from Ken Stone, and even though a complete
kit is not available, it is a very simple circuit.  If you eliminate
the LED's, it only uses three active components: two dual op-amps,
and one tube.

3) I'm planning on building one, so I would like to get a bunch of
guys interested, so we can save money on buying a bunch of panels :)
