Okay, I'll pipe up. I just finished a MOTM 410 and spent the 
last two hours running a single VCO through the unit and twiddling. 

One word; Awesome.

The stereo effects are a dream come true. I wanted this for
the Jean-Michel Jarre type sounds, but I was afraid it would be
a one trick pony. It isn't. I haven't even started experimenting 
with using any of the external voltage control options.

Now I need to build a preamp to boost a line signal to 10vptp,
because I've got to run a guitar through this thing. Actually, 
guitar into univibe into 410 into mixer. 

I noticed when building the unit that it used JRC 4558's. This
is the chip that supposedly is responsible for the legendary tube
screamer sound. Other 4558's don't seem to cut it. Jack Orman
has a good discussion about this here:

Paul, where did you get these chips, and are there any more to be 
found?
