A client that beat me before wanting some effects that I didnt have and just yesterday stumped me again. A random step filter (as korg used to call it) or sample and hold filter as others know it by.
After searching around a bit, i found a schematic for it (or something close)

I've seen a board made for a guitar pedal that was rather small. Im thinking that I can either un-balance a signal coming in using IC's then rebalance it going out same way (can't see the need for transformers when the amount of times this thing might be used could be counted on one hand)
First question is since this was originally designed for guitar, any problem sending it a line level signal (besides running out of headroom)?
Second, would it be worth bringing the volume down after un-balancing it, then make up before re-balancing?
Haven't really seen very many "effects" in either 500 or rack versions for that matter (probably because everything is DSP these days) but still might be kind of cool to try. Looks as though the guitar version uses 8 and 9 volts.
Third, Any issue with stepping down the voltage from a 500 PS?
