The “Dealers don’t wanna restock and I don’t wanna find a job yet 20% off everything sale” MAGIC WORDS.

As the catchy title implies, I’m broke and need money. This means I need to get a job. I don’t want to just yet because I’d like to at least get the Facehugger control module out to beta testers before I put everything on hold for a bit, which means desperate sale time, yay! Also, it’s Summer, which means that, even though they’re largely sold out of most f(h) modules, it’s the slow time for Synthland, and dealers don’t like to restock until Fall, so this is a great chance to get some unavailable gear for a great price! Now, onwards, to the rules!

What’s covered?

Everything – which means all currently-active product lines, both modules and kits. Which means:

  • Facehugger – Function Generator, arpeggiator, etc. Preorder item, see note below.
  • Famine (1500 & 500) – Voltage-controlled power starvation module.
  • IMP – Noise source.
  • Desktop Infernal Noise Machine – Road-worthy version of the Infernal Noise Machine, see note below.
  • Parasite Antifilter – Hellacious distortion, fuzz, drone generator, ambience generator, drum tone source, I mean holy hell this things is fun and surprising.
  • Plague Bearer – Voltage-controlled Bandpass filter, distortion, the classic.
  • Sinner – Sine shaper and signal processor.
  • Sound of Shadows – Voltage controlled, chainable digital delay.
  • 1-6-13 – Protected eurorack power distribution board
  • 5×5 – Passthrough +5V power source, plug into any open spot on your power board and not lose the spot.

This is below, and this is the note therein:

This even includes the last of the desktop Infernal Noise Machine Blood Boxes/Minimal Cases and even the Facehugger preorder, but please note the longer lead times involved on those items.

When does the sale begin and end?

It begins when I post this on Friday, July 21st, 2023, and ends after that. Let’s say on Tuesday, July 25th, because that sounds like a sufficiently arbitrary day.

What is not included?

Shipping is not included. I still have to charge for that since they still insist on charging me.

What about availability?

To start, the only ready-to-go items are a few Famine 500, everything else is built when ordered. All long-lead items (panels, pots, jacks) are on-hand, and most other parts are on-hand or can be within one week.

When will my order ship?

When it is ready.

I always wanted to say that. It’s true, but to clarify: that depends on how many orders I get. Most will ship in the default 2-4 weeks, and I’ll let you know of any changes.

How do I order?

Send me your info via the contact page, check the boxes you want, include your preferred PayPal email address, your zip code or country (to calculate shipping), and I’ll send you a PayPal invoice.

What kind of shipping?

This is for all locations, domestic and international:

Shipping always defaults to US Postal Priority shipping. It’s a bit more expensive than First Class/Parcel Post, but it’s faster, has tracking, and is a generally a bit more reliable in today’s shipping hellscape.

First Class/Parcel Post/Snail Mail is still available, but only if you ask for it.

What about…?

Dunno, I’m not you so I didn’t think of that. Send me a question via the contact page and I’ll get back to you.

Best regards, hugs and kisses,

Facehugger preorders and the last of the Blood Boxes

Facehugger: Pre-orders for the new Facehugger all-analog, vector-addressable, chainable, function generator are now open!

The alpha prototype has been built, corrected, and is fully working. The design has been updated and the next circuit board designs are almost complete. The beta and (hopefully) final PCBs will be ordered this week, and test units should be sent out to testers next week, and the production units are expected to ship mid-September.

Infernal Noise Machine Blood Box: It’s Summer, so it’s time to build the last of the desktop INM Blood Boxes. The first run sold out and now even the eurorack versions are gone, so this run is the very last of the V2 Infernal Noise Machines that will be built.

Pre-order info:

Prices (shipping not included):

  • Facehugger eurorack module (either panel): US$295
  • Facehugger eurorack kit (either panel): US$220
  • Desktop Infernal Noise Machine Blood Box: US$2366
  • Desktop Infernal Noise Machine Minimal Case: US$1916

Use the contact form to let me know what you’d like, your location (for the shipping), and any questions you have, and I’ll send you a PayPal invoice.

Facehugger Kickstarter is live!

The Facehugger all-analog, addressable, non-linear function generator Kickstarter project is now live, please come and show your support: Facehugger project.

I’m actually pretty excited about this one. It’s a lot of fun, and the chaining/paralleling features are going to be even better – but it needs your support to happen. Spread the word!

Quad Plague Bearers again

Doing another run of QPBs. These will have panels with white graphics on flat black (like the faceplates on current modules). Price is $450 + shipping. Lead time is 2-3 months, so sometime in April. Orders accepted until the end of January.

Yes, the last run was supposed to be final, but that was because I couldn’t find any housings anymore. I’ve been watching for and grabbing affordable ones since then. There’s a few more floating around out there, but they cost a lot more than they used to.

The minimum has already been met but more are welcome to join in! Send me an email via the contact page with your location (to calculate shipping) and PayPal email address in the comment section, and I’ll send you a PayPal invoice.

The last of the v.2 Infernal Noise Machines.

There are only 3 eurorack and 4 3 desktop INM left, there will be no more of this version, so reserve them while they last! The INM-E will be built in January and the INM-D are planned to be built in July.

INM-E + EXP: $750 + S&H

INM-D:

  • Blood Box – $2,366 + S&H
  • Minimal Case – $1,916 + S&H

This is a list of all modules that have been tested, . Modules found particularly enjoyable to starve/most noticeably (and usefully) affected by starvation marked with “*”, based on our own opinion and those of our testers.
