I breadboarded this circuit, and stuck a 10k starve pot between +9v and VDD on the chip, like the in the ReezaFRATzitz. However, just dialling the voltage down just a tiny bit adds erratic but full-sounding sub-octave drops as evidenced here -
I've checked over the circuit several times, and it appears to be identical to Charlie Barth's OG schematic apart from the starve pot:

Lots of fun, perhaps not that practical.

Definitely does sound like it, I remember seeing that T.V show a lot when I was younger....
