Probably going to get a 3rd Wave in the next few weeks.

Wow. That synth looks so nice.

You will not be disappointed!
I’ve had mine a few months now, and love it.
It’s got some serious low end. Lushness.

Someone was selling a Rample at a decent price so that’s on its way. I have a 1010 Bitbox Micro in the rack I use with drums but it will be handy to have a sample based module for my other rack too, which is more for melodic stuff. Also intrigued by the built in granular and other fx.

On a more practical level I’ve also ordered a cheap label printer to try and organise all my dozens of leads and power supplies.

Squeezed in one more thing, cheap-ish from Cash Converters.

Thinking it may be fun on the B Edge.

Yeah, I keep hoping to see one sub £60, but they seem to be floating around at £70 or more.

With Moog falling apart (Inmusic just fired almost everyone on the US factory), prices for US-built models will probably skyrocket soon. I'm very, very tempted to add a Sub37 to my collection before that happens.

But will everyone still carry on playing the “Moog good, Behringer bad” game?

Went on Amazon to pick up a cheap PSU for that Behringer Pedal. Dangerous move as I ended up getting another pedal too, cheap one though a Donner White Tape for £40. Not as many options as the EM600, but looks better for hands on control.

I’d highly recommend getting a Subsequent 37 over a Sub 37. The Subsequent has a much better keybed and far better oscillator gain staging.

Last time I checked, people in the EU really should consider Thomann's Harley Benton range of Powerplant ISO pedal PSUs.

My favourites are the Harley Benton PowerPlant ISO-2 Pro (and its siblings), and the Harley Benton PowerPlant ISO-10AC Pro which is much larger and gets hot, but is more powerful and its power plug takes less space in a power extension box. There's also 2 new ISO Pro Modular models I'm not experienced with (all of these are modular, the ISO-2 Pro and its siblings have their transformer in the power plug though - the power plug is available separately, though I never had one die on me yet, and I have a bunch of 'em).

Advantages:
- Isolated, filtered & short-circuit-protected outputs
- powerful (mA)
- last time I checked, by far the best value you can get

Made in China but I never found these units (or any comparable ones, in terms of features and value) under any other brand name.

Will take a look, but the one I got that supposedly is enough to run 5 pedals cost £13 which is cheaper than the individual PSUs I bought for each of my Meris pedals.

That is crazy cheap - provided it's isolated.
(Meris pedals do use a lot of mA though, if you want to use that PSU with such pedals you better check)

I still prefer Cioks, despite the price.

Your statement makes me curious why you do.

Is there a feature I didn't take into consideration?
(I mentioned "isolated, filtered & short-circuit-protected outputs", amperage, footprint of the power plug, size, modularity, availability of replacement power plugs, and the fact I never had any problem with any of the 17 units I'm using)

Or do you perhaps put more trust in Cioks' implementation of the isolation?
