Admin: Auction Posts Update

I'm killing the BIN:s for auction posts mentioned in this prior post. Instead I will have a Sold For: added to the bottom each auction post description as I have time. That's more of an if I have time. I just went through all auction posts back to September 26. Auctions before then appear to be gone from Ebay. You will see the following at the end of each auction description in posts moving forward:

Sold For: the price an item sold for
Sold For: 0 bids
Sold For: check back

Check back is a note for myself. It means the auction hadn't ended when I checked, and it makes it easier for me to find them later. You can always check the auction link for the current bid.

It's kind of fun looking back at what some items went for:
The Mint ARP 2500
The Moog Sonic V Serial #74
The NIN Auction Items - scroll past the first one. I should have bid on the Electrix boxes!

Have fun...

SNAZZY FX WOW AND FLUTTER 1.mov

YouTube via snazelle.

Synth connection: this one came in via the synth diy list and had some help from Mark Verbos. Also click here and scroll for prior snazelle videos posted here on MATRIXSYNTH. The SNAZZY FX Wow and Flutter is one of the first three products coming from the newly formed SNAZZY FX and is thus a little bit of synth history.

Video description:
"here is a quick demo of the Snazzy FX wow and flutter. This is one of the three products I am releasing at NAMM in 2 weeks. it is a pretty full featured box, with super heavy duty steel box, with beautiful graphics, and an extremely versatily set of controls. I like this box a lot because you can sit around with it for hours and keep getting intersting sounds. from sort of chorus/or comb filtering stuff to delay, to weird messed up tape effects (which are a lot easier to hear on a mix then they are on a guitar) to pitch shifting.

this box can take line or guitar level and can go from clean to slightly overdriven.

retail price will be announced at Namm.

via dan snazelle on the sdiy list:

"As some of you may have noticed lately i have been a bit absent from the list. this is mainly due to how damn busy i have been trying to get my three products ready for NAMM, with my new company, SNAZZY FX.

mark verbos has been a super big help throughout the development of these products (all the circuit boards were designed by him)

i wont get into too much detail at the moment about the three products and i must apologize about the poor audio quality of this video, but i will be posting a few more links in the next week or so, and giving more information on the three products.

the wow and flutter is at this moment the least knob laden of the three boxes. the tracer city has over 20 controls. the mini-ark (based on the tracking section from the audio ark) has about 10 controls, but one of these is a "magical selector" 1-8 preset rotary switch.

as you can probably imagine, things are crazy for me right now, assembling boxes, getting orders of parts in, and picking up boxes from the silkscreen shop. these are are what i will be taking to NAMM but i might make a few changes such as paint type,etc when i go into production (i think the final boxes will be powder coated)

by the way, the two more complex boxes both run off of TRUE 12 or 15 +/- rails with a 9v (though not recommended on the tracer city do to current drain) batt or 9v dc adapter (boss adapter recommended)

anyway...just thought id let you all know that I will have three products out in Jan 2010.

i will be posting some more stuff soon

thanks!"
