Top: circuit-bent Casio SK-1 (with tube distortion thing sitting on top of it)
2nd ever circuit bending project I undertook.

Bottom: Semi modular synth my brother built.
It's been on loan to me for the last 11 years!!!
It's ill-tempered but it sounds very nice.
The circuit bent stuff gets patched through it quite a bit.[/img]

Wow! That looks like a lot of fun. Nice!

Oberheim Two Voice

Best analogue monosynth on the planet in my opinion.

Had to sell mine a few years back when the tax man made a surprise demand.

I'd like to buy another one at some point.

Laptop. Lemur.

Minimalizing for inspiration. Has worked out great.

As a concept - I loved my G2, but couldn't put enough time into it.

For now it`s
core duo laptop/live6, faderfox lv1,lx1 and padkontrol set. Nice and extremely portaple. But tomorrow i`m getting a new toy and i think it`s gonna be the winner:
Elektron Monomachine Sfx-60.

You got a massive passive? Sweet!
By the way I found this company http://www.gyraf.dk/ that do really nice stuff (Including a passive Pultec-type EQ) but they have some DIY projects as well.

They have a Pulteq, an 1176 a dual tube mic pre amp and an SSL buscomp!

I'm currently teaching myself electronics because DIY is the way to go if you don't have money for high end gear!!! Unfortunately the stuff with tubes in it is "advanced" level. High voltages & stuff.
