From the vendor
Bjorn Juhl's (BJF) envelope filter for Mad Professor. A 2N5457 JFET input buffer feeds an NE5517/LM13700 state-variable filter, while an LM324 gain stage, rectifier and BC550 current source make the envelope follower that sweeps the filter. The post summarizes My7of9's explanation of the circuit blocks from GuitarPCB.
My7of9's mod: a 1N34 germanium diode for D6 and a 1uF electrolytic for C8 make it funkier. Raising R18 to 47K lets the Sensitivity pot sit nearer 12 o'clock (gain is the Sensitivity pot divided by R18); keeping R18 at 20K and using a 47K pot does the same. A side-chain mod lets fuzz or distortion go before the auto wah, with a buffer/splitter and an extra jack.
