  Just posting a note to say "hi", and I completed my Yocto build!
  
  I'm an electronics engineer out here in NZ, and I have to say, I'm very impressed with the kit. Everything came present and correct, bar a single 220ohm resistor (which to be fair I probably just lost).
  
  I'm so new-school that I actually struggled using thru-hole components. My day to day work is all with SMT, so it was cool having the chance to get "intimate" with all these old-school packages.
  
  Very impressed with the silkscreen layout, very easy to follow.
  
  I couldn't help myself, and upgraded the Master output section with a fancy opamp and caps. Sounds bitchin'.
  
  I ended up getting pissed off with Eagle pretty quickly, and just imported the files into Altium Designer.
  
  All in all, very stoked. I couldn't wipe the grin off my face when I played the first pattern.

After almost one and a half year I finally got the last pieces I needed to finish my Yocto. Yesterday I got a package from Thonk with my knobs, and this is what it looks like now :

Finally, my dream is realized. A few years back I was on the 3rd batch waiting list for the mythological beast known as the MB-808 (which never came to fruition). Thank you, Vincent, for the PCBs & kit; ElSchtroumpf, for the beautiful enclosure; gihaume, for the refined wood sides: Altitude909, for the Selco knobs.

Look, there is so much space on that front panel for additional pots...and on the back panel for some additional jacks…
Mods, people, mods...
