This module is fully passive and requires no external power. It can be used as an oscillator source, where the frequency is based on the rotational speed. To control other CV inputs, you need to amplify the signal coming from it, such as with a preamp built in Behringer 2600. Any other preamp, mixer and a guitar pedal will work too.

Assembly notes:

Assembling the kit is straight forward. You need very minimal soldering skills, just to solder the sockets and two wires together. No special tools required.

Parts in the kit were not compatible & did not fit together

Until this point I've had nothing but great experiences on Tindie so this was a very unusual experience. There are so many useful items and great projects you can support for $10 or less, making it extra upsetting that for $29 I received something so carelessly thrown together.

In the end I had to modify the parts in order to assemble this very basic kit.

I'd say this is at least a cool idea but I'm pretty sure NoodleVolt came up with a module like this first.... so if there's no idea and there's no execution, what are you actually paying for? The privilege of fixing someone else's project?

Response from Deftaudio | Aug. 27, 2023

Very unfortunate to see your bad experience Paul. I've tried to do my best to help you and provided the immediate response to all of your enquires. You should understand when dealing with guitar pickups their tolerance varies from batch to batch. It was our fault that mounting holes are within 0.5mm offset from the pickup, very sorry about that and all new buyers are informed now. At the end of the day you didn't want to make the holes bigger :) and demanded the refund. We are small, we make it for fun and love all our customers. But can't stand amazon-like behavior, very sorry. If you needed the assembled product with no extra effort, you could buy one from NoodleVolt, I'm sure it's great and the cost of $120 is justified.

I love this kit

I'm just getting into eurorack and as a beginner this was pretty straightforward for me and it's fun to play with (I can actually get oscillations fast enough from this thing to hear it on my studio subwoofer). Only thing I wasn't sure on was the orientation of the double bass pickups during assembly and support was quick and helpful (the answer is that orientation does not matter as the spinner is not symmetrical thus there won't be any phasing effects observed and to experiment with placement if needed)
