Pricing and Availability

Yawnnnn…. Next!
Dude check your autocorrect it totally misspelled “Awesome… Want!”
Yeah show us the synth you developed!
Missed v1 & v2 … tried v3, found it interesting but too experimental for me.
Happy that v2 is available again with updates like oscillators that stay in tune!
Didn’t the previous version of Erebus have three oscillators?
You can still order the easy to build DIY kit of Erebus for 2/3 of the price, according to the Dreadbox website.
Meh……
so says the unproductives
Anyone else noticing a lot of remakes, reissues, limited edition colors, mk2’s, etc.
Thev dark ages following up the golden age? I don’t mind. It’s manufacturers trying to keep going in hard times, I suppose? If it sells and has them survive to bring us new stuff in the future, I am all for it. And it’s great to have new runs of old stuff. There’s always new people joining the hobby
It seems like the existing parts are being used to remarket old stuff, probably because new parts aren’t available? At least Dreadbox isn’t repackaging it in another color and calling it Dreadbox Bass or something like that.
Love that these are available again and now even fit in Eurorack cases. Both are already classics, and Erebus 2 is a mean little bass machine with an extremely good sounding filter.
