MOTM

Yeah... those Paia kits are there for the price. Versatile too. I use my Hot 
Springs as a radio receiver. It picks up RF like an antennae and I have 
re-arranged and changed the lead layout 3 times. Gave up on that one. By 
Hi-Fi I meant with a lot of features like spring self oscillation and maybe 
a feedback loop. Brand "D" has one of these but it is $160. Spring reverb 
with a sweeping filter or eq triggered by a gate would yeild some crazy 
results. I love to run delays through the spring reverbs and make each tap 
sound big and spacious. On the Paia tip, I actually love there stuff because 
it got me into building kits and here I am today with an actual monophonic 
beast of a synth I built from kits. Ha!

I still want to MOTMify or Fra Rakify a EFM Super Tone Control. It has a mod 
in the instructions to make it compatible with MOTM synth levels, but it has 
no CV inputs in the schematic. You would have to figure out how and where to 
implement these if building one. Has very unique resonance characteristics. 
Kit is $30 for a fun filter with separate level knobs so you can mix 
together the high, low and bandpass responses like an EQ or just have one 
level up at a time and here only this at the output.

Anybody have any good DIY Preamp ideas? I need to run loops through my MOTM 
and I can't seem to tear my tube preamp off of my mixer sub-buss. I want a 
tube version of at least half way decnt qulity and noise. MOTM is my quitest 
analog and I don't want to muck it up with a cheap circuit.

PS. I am still having trouble with the inter-cabinet power cable decision 
too. Speakon sounds great because of how it locks, and so does the CB cable. 
I guess I will wander down to my local parts/surplus guy and nose around 
through some heaps of crap trying to find the obvious solution. Thanks for 
your input guys...gals? Are there any female MOTM'ers and if so where are 
you? It would be refreshing to see or know of a girl out there doing this as 
it would give me serious advantage in arguments about time spent doing 
"Things only a guy would want to do" with the fiance.
