behndy I want you to know that I am sexually attracted to your setup. I LOVE the color blocking (row of black, row of silver).

Dopeness. How long did it take you to get that case? They're still sold out on their website. :grumpy:

Dat Instruo, mmph.

I separated all my black modules into one rack and everything else into another, and was pleasantly surprised at the two separate systems they were able to form that way. The black one is now a way more powerful and complete instrument than the multi-colored, but that one still has a lot going for it anyway, especially as a whatever/experimental rack.

I'm finally gassing for pedals again, and I think it will soon be strong enough to overtake modules, which hasn't happened yet since I started, but I've come close a couple of times -
Mooer Radar - Cabs, load your own IRs, and a miniscreen? How the fuck did I end up wanting a mooer pedal wtf.
Blackstar HT tube reverb - On clearance for $150 at sweetwater, almost made me say fuck modular reverb and still might.

jia. he's had that up foreverrrr. i just contacted him and asked to be on the list, put a bunch down. not because he asked, but because i suuuuuck at not getting distracted by The Shiny.

there were.... delays. he originally thought it would be two months, but ended up almost four. it was almost all supply side issues.

01) in that last vid clip, the vocally stuff is all Even VCO -> Great Destroyer -> LimaFlo Formant Filter, which i think is NEAT.

Man, I have been grueling for weeks over picking my first case trying to find a good price+good space+good portability and scored a used Pittsburgh Modular EP360 for 675 after reverb's presidents day sale. :!!!: :!!!: :!!!:

I need to step up and get some more modules so I can start patching. So far I have/on the way: Rene, Moffenzeef Mito, Blue Lantern Mini Shimmery, Telharmonic, Kinks, Peaks w/DMC... Need to get a VCA and Filter. For mixing/output... I am sort of stuck. I should probably just get a something quick and dirty like a Rosie and figure out the modules themselves and worry about mixing later. I eventually want to get something wild like a MxPx or a Blind Monk Quad.


Also, frick Behndy this case fucking beautiful. Whats the module with the three pink glowing chodes?

That's the vpme.de Euclidean Circles.

As for getting modules, take your shit slow and learn what you have before buying more. If I was going to do everything over again I'd probably slow my roll on buying so much shit so quickly.

Yeah, I saw your post earlier in the week but it looked like you were still on the fence!

Yeah that seems to be a common piece of advice. I don't want to be filling the case up right away. the other big piece of advice I see is getting extra space so I figured 360hp will be plenty. Plus I dig the aesthetic of the Pittsburgh cases which for better or worse is an element I consider with gear to stay focused/creative.

Edit: man my computer keeps auto correcting modules to modulars making me sound like a real dope :lol:
