It's described in a book I have about Hawkwind as a piece of test
equipment.  This makes me wonder if it was perhaps just an audio
function generator - maybe sine, square and triangle wave output.

The sounds were achieved by passing its output through various effects
like fuzzboxes, wahwah pedals and tape echoes.
