Phonic Taxidermist 47.2b

circuitbenders.co.uk Phonic Taxidermist 47.2b 10hp panel with gain mod

The Phonic Taxidermist 47.2b is a clone of the Maplin Voice Vandal. This was a kit that was available from Maplins electronics (an electronics chain in the UK similar to Radio Shack) throughout much of the 1990's. Back in the day you would often see the Voice Vandal on the kit lists of electronic bands such as Fluke and Underworld, along with Add N to X, Autechre and many artists recording for Warp Records. These days it is extremely rare that you'll see one for sale, and when they do turn up they tend to sell for stupid money.

This is the 10hp panel available from circuitbenders.co.uk.

To boost the output a bit I've added a small non-inverting amplifier so and the messurement of maximum current draw includes this mod, just a heads up.
