We will be at Superbooth again this year, this time in the W Hall at booth W446 showing off two new modules (prototypes so far, with one slated for May/June production and the other for this fall).

Posted by Eric Schlappi on

There is a very thoughtful tutorial on the use of stepped voltages with the Three Body and also some absolute sonic madness in this new video from Stazma
