Cheap Dual VCA – Transistor based VCA

This more or less passive design is from Bummbummsteffen. He designed it for his drumrack and it works okay but using his words ‘Theres some distortion in the output. Furthermore the design doesn’t work with negative voltages.’

I built two of them on one protoboard and even built one more for the portable setup.

I used protoboard so I didn’t check the stripboard layout but I think you can trust this easy layout 😉
