Dan	Re: Envelope - help I recently built the Dr. Quack (probably the most convoluted piece of perfboard I've ever assembled), and, despite it's sloppy looks, which is more my fault than the circuit designers, it sounds great. The parts are easy to get, most can even be obtained at (gasp) Radio Shack. For the Op-Amp, I use the TL082, and it sounds nice and smooth with a nice nasal punch on the high ends. I would reccomend this pedal over the others, as the Dr. Q is hard to work with, and the Mutron III and Zipper are inconveniently complex circuits for perfboard. -Dan
