finally catching up on this thread. love bugbrand. sounds incredible, and as a modular system is really well thought out, everything is logical, inputs/knobs are colour coded, and modules are straightforward to use but often include neat little extras features. and tom is an outstanding person to deal with (i do wish i was able to convince him to do a white whale or ansible port. and a multiband distortion processor. i did try!).
the first system i bought from somebody went through a train derailment on its way to me, thankfully nobody was hurt and the system arrived safely. eventually expanded it to this:
unfortunately, there was a time when i really needed money, and was stupid enough to think that bug didn’t really fit my workflow, so sold most of it. then later i’d be listening to some old recordings i made and thinking “this sounds really good” and it would almost always turn out to be a recording of my old bug system. so little by little got this small system set up:
which i since expanded with a synth voice (i have an expanded DRM1 as well). now that i’ve got a chirper i think i’ll make 1 full red row with DRM1 / chirper, and use their cases to assemble a 2x16 case. i’ll try to record something for the compilation (great idea!) once it’s set up.
