== Mounting the tank ==
Because the springs themselves look like [[inductor]]s to any nearby electro-magnetic signals that may be floating around, they are ''very'' susceptible to picking up [[interference]] from [[power supplies]] and the like within a [[modular]] set-up. This presents a perennial problem of how/where to mount the tank inside/outside the [[case]] in order to minimise [[mains hum]] from being picked-up by the unit. Trial and error is really the only option, though there are many ideas to be found by searching the MuffMod Wiggler forum archives – these threads may be a starting point:

=== Schematics ===
Take care with some of these: some will be designed to interface to guitar-level signals (tens to hundreds of millivolts?), and so may need re-scaling for use with general synthesizer-level signals of up to ''10 volts'' or more! It is also possible some use obsolete or hard-to-source parts!
