XOXBOX w/SokkOS


via this auction

"ITEM DESCRIPTION
This x0xb0x is in 100% working order and very clean. It was built from a Willzyx kit, so all of the rare parts are original and not copies as sold by less reputable x0xb0x dealers. Yes, there is a difference and I suggest you do some research before buying any x0xb0x. I'm an experienced builder & tech, so the unit is very well built. I also installed SokkOS 1.9, which is much better than the standard OS in my opinion.

I measured all of the 2SA733 transistors before installing them and selected the highest gains for Q10 (332hFE), Q9 (315hFE), & Q8 (309hFE). If you don't know why that's important, read this. The result is a filter that cracks, warbles, and bubbles beautifully. I think it's very difficult to hear the difference between this x0xb0x and an original TB-303. I have experience with both synths. The Adafruit x0xb0x was voted the best sounding TB-303 clone by Acid Voice.


This auction includes the x0xb0x unit, AC power adapter, and a hardcopy of the Build Manual, which tells you how to test, calibrate, and tune the unit."
