1. Cool! I'm glad you like it

A few things worth mentioning about the ringmod: I put a 4.7nF cap between lug 1 and 3 of the volume pot (output to ground) just to tame the highs alittle which can get harsh. The Sensitivity pot is alittle better as a log pot (but a linear is fine, that control is kinda set-and-forget anyway). The 500K trimmer sets the output of the oscillator and needs to be set very low (like a 1/5 or 1/4 turn up) for the ringmod to be at unity with the octave up side. And one last thing that might need clarification: input goes first to the daughterboard. Good luck and let us know how it turns out! :)

2. I drew a straight line with a large marker pen and used a dremel to cut out the line by hand.. It's far from perfect, so no close up photos.. :) and the fader is glued in place. :P It's a plastic enclosure, so cutting out the line was easy. I think a regular aluminium enclosure would be much harder.
