Here's a fairly recent picture of my biggest modular machine. (June 8th 2021) Several changes have taken place since then though . . . .

@levelhead3, Anyone
Do you have a photo of the rear of that style dotcom tolex cabinet?
Curious how the tolex is wrapped. aka removable rear panel or not?

Oh gosh...

You do such great work my friend, that's a gorgeous setup. :hail:

I love the that the below desk cabinet spaces also have modules - it's like "wait, it's still going?" :eek:

Thanks. No need for the pics with your confirming description. The view of the tolex inside suggested a screwed rear panel. Which also makes the tolex MUCH easier to apply.

I don't have a dotcom cabinet but have a Mos-Lab one 16a and some DIY cabinets (that I cloned from a Mos-Lab cabinet). Rear panel is removable (4 screws). Tolex edges are on the bottom side (it's easier to hide my amateur cutter skills). Real panel is covered by tolex easily

Last night’s gig was a blast, people were dancing and begged for more. I had four voices in the modular plus the MS-20, and it all worked!

Looks like a fun place to be hovmod! Are those Acoustic brand speaker cabs? The blue stripe is reminding me of them somehow.

Nice variety pack! :)
What is the lower right unlabeled module for?
Apologies if you have explained it already someplace... :oops:

Thanks! The mystery module is a rough repaneling combination of a Synth Tech E560 frequency shifter and a E580 delay plus some passive attenuators.

Indeed! :cloud: It was partially due to the need to have enough current draw on the +5v rail to get all the rails of the switching supply to kick in, and partially just an opportunity take to add a little "bling" to the case. :hihi:



!0 of the 13 modules in this case have some sort of modification and the case has a few modifications as well. I'll do a video break down on it at some point:

Nothing beats playing a gig in front of sea!

I sampled stuff into orthogonal devices 301 and into reel to reel and
carried mostly 5u effects with this setup (freestate phaser and sostflanger - cotk delay, stg wave folder + osc) + krisp1 moog matrix mixer and yusynth mixer. (+some euro stuff, like analog solutions 8-band filters).

Also in one song I did ”the Elvis echo” with reel to reel machine ;)

Cool setup! :yay: And kudos for committing to hauling out heavy gear like the reel to reel! 💪 :tu:

Here's the most recent pic, though it's no longer still current due to the addition of a couple of FS-1 pedals.

I have a sneaking suspicion you are much more limber than I am. Lotus modulation for the win!
