Some pics of Grove Audio at Knobcon last year via their last post on Facebook on September 21, 2022 with the following:
"Knobcon Ten was a great event, once again. Thanks to all the people who made it the largest show in Knobcon history. Several friends dropped by the Grove Audio booth to see what we have new for this year. We emphasized new modules for 5U as part of a renewed effort to build the popular format. This effort also includes accessories to support new systems such as power supplies, cables, and cabinet options."
And a video with John from Synthtopia at Knobcon in 2018:
