The
Honey Dripper
is based on the Colorsound Dipthonizer™, a very unusual and short lived auto-
wah type effect. The Dipthonizer™ was only made for a couple of years in the late 70’s and thus quite
rare. Current eBay offerings price these somewhere close to $1000. The effect itself is constructed
from two parallel multiple feedback filters whose intensity is controlled by an envelope filter.
Additionally, there is a four way rotary switch which changes the overall “vowel” driver produced by
the envelope.
2015 version
The HoneyDripper has been re-designed to utilize the LM137000 instead of the stock CA3080
(which are becoming increasingly rare and ever-more expensive).
The Alpha rotary switch has been replaced with a much smaller 2P4T (this was necessary to
make the new layout fit in a 125B).
The rotary switch is included with the PCB.
The Fuzz pot operation has been switched to clean (full-off) to max fuzz (full-on). This was
done as matter of personal preference - it has no impact on the effect other than to make the
control more logical.

Controls
Fuzz –
Controls the amount of fuzz blended in with the clean input signal. Note that the "fuzz" here is
not really all that fuzzy. It's more of a gentle overdrive.
Sweep –
Sets the intensity of the envelope that drives the two filters. The best settings tend to be 1/2
to full up.
SW1 –
This is a 2-pole, 4-terminal rotary switch which changes the vowel type (labeled Yeh, Bow,
Wah, Aae).

Mod
Change
C2
from 2n2 to a smaller value for a brighter sound. My preference here is a 560pF or
680pF. I would not go lower than that (too much noise).
There were a couple other mods listed in the previous version, but overall I think the stock version
(plus the mod listed above) is the one to build. I've tested out a lot of possible mods and I keep
coming back to mostly stock.
