I'm nearing the end of my current recording project which means I'll be allowed to move onto a second row. Apparently a uZeus can just about power two rows, but there are quite a few small modules in my setup and I'm already out of flying bus headers. Considering a 4ms Row Power of some kind, and rigging up a 15V daisy chain cable so they can share a wall socket. Then I think a pair of these could make a nice complex oscillator with a moddemix: http://doboz.audio/vco-340/

Unless you're doing separate cases, I'd just go for the Row Power 35 or 45 and resell the uZeus (or keep it as a backup) instead of running them both.

For bus boards, I'm not sure the 4ms Bus Stick is much better than flying bus cables. Konstant Labs has one at about the same price that seems more robust, and then there's always Genus Modu LIBB :D

I've added 4 new pedals... 2 were not planned at all.

The Keeley Super Phat Mod is this new 20/20 thing they're doing and as I was searching for an Overdrive pedal I figured I'd have nothing to lose trying it (limited to 20 in this paint job)! I absolutely love it.

The Microcosm, I stumbled on a great used deal that I couldn't pass up. I had already ordered the Tensor and the Keeley ECCOS (not pictured) but if I can't make use of both the Tensor and Microcosm then I can always sell the Tensor (but I'm hoping to keep them both - I love that its blacked out).

The ECCOS has an insanely nice tape modeled delay that I haven't heard before in any software (or my limited hardware exposure) so while I now have lots of looping capabilities, the delay on this thing makes it a keeper.

Also I got my Cioks 4 power "expander" instead of the supply. It was incorrectly labeled. They did give me a slight refund for the inconvenience but I decided I might as well just get the DC7 since I now have a need to power more pedals.

Now its time to figure out the best way to connect them all!

That's a much better price!

I got into the Kid Robot stuff after finding their Fat Cap series on clearance at an art store. It's hard paying more to complete the series after getting a bargain, and I still like them too much to sell (even though they're stored away for now).

:tu:
I got one a few years ago...
is your the plus or does it have the plus firmware? This has the small sampler and the resonators.. and I think the ring modulator is in plus.

I was recently given a Batman Funko Pop. My first thought was to put him beside my synth gear. (That is, after I reorganize my gear a bit.)

Since in live in West Virginia, I guess that makes you an official international synth fashion trend setter now! :D
