These are my build notes for the Basilisk baseline synthesizer.
Wirehead come from Western Australia.
Here is the official website:

It's described as analog hybrid. It has dual digital oscillators with a 12dB MS20 style filter (with overdrive).
There is a built in 1-16 step generative synthesizer. 



I purchased the kit from Tindie


A basilisk is a legendary reptile, often depicted as a serpent or serpent-like creature, 
known for its deadly gaze or venom. In European folklore, the basilisk is a fearsome beast, 
sometimes described as a "serpent king" or a "little king". 
It's also associated with the ability to kill or petrify with a glance. The name "basilisk" comes from 
the Greek word for "little king". 








The kit can with all components ... looks like a easy build.




IC sockets first



resistors & diodes, caps



Next .. the resistor array
Some info about arrays:

470ohms & 100k resistor array 

These have polarity. look for the white dot.


A 471J resistor has a resistance value of 470 ohms with a tolerance of ±5%. The letter "J" in the designation indicates a 5% tolerance. This means the actual resistance can vary from 470 ohms by up to 5%, resulting in a range of 446.5 ohms to 493.5 ohms.
