I had it in my wishlist and I was signed up for price reduction notifications too, which is how I received the offer. I still have the email but the link to purchase isn't working anymore, so it seems it was a New Year's Day special only

Thanks. Looks like setting up a Juno wish list might be a good idea.

Definitely. They aren't a spammy vendor either, I receive almost zero "cold" emails, just notifications for stuff I've already signed up to. I'm hoping for a reduction on a Noise Plethora now

Juno are my goto for new modular gear, usually have the best prices but you need to be quick as they sell out of stock pretty quickly.
For UK Signal Sound and Elevator Sound are good too so worth checking on.

Delay 1 was and still is the cheapest at Juno at £244.99 vs ~£279 everywhere else and generally their prices are the best, I agree. It's worth shopping around though, including Reverb, because sometimes vendors have good deals on specific items. Noise Plethora is a little bit cheaper at Elevator, for example, also either Rubadub or Signal were selling a brand new SSF Stereo Dipole for £369 (vs £429 everywhere else) at one point and I also got a good deal on a new Make Noise X-Pan from either one of them, also on Reverb.

Well it arrived. Smaller and more cute than I thought it would be. Actually excited but still won't turn it on until 24 hours.

Yea, I might finally get an Elektron box this year and get rid of the Erica synths machine.

Just arrived!

This is where I planned to place it, but I might need to change this. The dimension listed on the product page doesn't account for the fader positions at max. I figured this might be the case when I asked them about the dimensions with the fadershield, and they said it would be 9.5cm.

So, technically this could still work, so long as the faders are positioned down before closing the drawer.

I lasted a massive 3 days. Finally the GAS for one of these got too much

I love my XD, but something about the black chassis makes it the ultimate dust magnet, far prefer that Minilogue colour. I did see someone selling a used limited edition pearl white XD for £300 but I think it was sold within about 5 minutes of their ad going on eBay!

I almost bought the Bass version (black and red) which I found going for about the same price in a different music shop, but I wanted the original presets as starting points. But yeah, it is not sore on the eyes at all.
