"Acid Labs Mod Features:
POTENTIOMETER FEATURES:
- Overdrive: Gives a distorted tone to VCO
- Decay: Normal 303 decay is fixed at 2 seconds, now you can set time from 0-2sec
- Resonance Boost: Increases the amount of resonance
- X-MOD: This gives the VCO a more harmonic overtone

TOGGLE SWITCHES:
- Accent on/off: On all notes will accent, Off notes will accent as programmed
- Slide on/off: Up normal, Down all notes will slide
- Bend on/Off: On notes bend in the on position, Off notes play normal

LED'S:
- Accent, Slide, Gate: The LED's light as programmed

For full disclosure - the mounting of the Decay knob on the mod did not come out perfect as you can see in the photo the knob is slightly bent off to the right (does not affect functionality at all, totally cosmetic). Also - the jacks on the back of the unit for the mod inputs and outputs look like 1/8th inch mini-jacks, but they are actually a bit smaller."

BTW, anyone know who the image in the backround is of?

"UBE based synthesizer effect. it uses new old-stock tubes to create a crazy sounding fuzz box. the effect is very lo-fi...but a gorgeous grinding sound. it makes samples/drums/casios etc especially sound really cool. My particular box is from the first run...when it had the much cooler looking gold case (now this model ships with a noxious yellow encasing). there is a hand written serial # near the power jack...TM-1 008. so if you're a collector nerd that may be of interest to you. i assume this is the 8th TM1 ever."

This is my Buchla.

"This is my Buchla. There may be others like it, but this one's mine. My Buchla is my life."

No not actually mine.
