4049 Cracklebox ....and 386 amplifier with built in speaker

 

I wanted the 4049 cracklebox like a standalone instrument, but it seemed like it couldn't drive a speaker on it's own.. so I removed the cracklebox from it's original box, and built everything in one another. Built in a week in october 2011. The amplifier schematic is from Nicolas Collins book Handmade electronic music.

 

Below: the first box

Cracklebox based on the CMOS 4049, construction by John Richards, built by Olle Oljud, January 2011.
