Doepfer

Thanks Dieter,

I might have to take my chances and see what's available in late
August; I'm currently saving every cent for a trip to the UK, Europe
and Japan in July/August so I can't really afford to buy any new
modules at the moment.

If they have run out by then I guess I'll just have to go into DIY
mode and build my own rectifier module.

Cheers,
Adam-V
