Cool vid.
Did you got the face plates from x0xsh0p?
It seems I can't order that any more.
Without offending no one... I miss Substyler.

Cheers.

Cheers.
I'm with you on that. Its a willzyx x0xb0x with a faceplate from x0xshop and Ive put some different (rare) transistors in too.
I find them very slow and I dont think the language barrier helps, but their english is better than my german.
Took 3 months to get it. I can get stuff from Willzyx in under 2 weeks. Try emailing them and see what they say, dont pay them if they have no stock, just bug them til they have it in.

Hi Pish and Sub

Pish,

I know exactly what you mean, it seems I can't communicate with the new owner of x0xsh0p.
I don't understand him and dose not understand me.
If I show you the email I got from him pfffff...
6 month I'm trying to tell him that I want only the silver front panel :)
I passed man.
Eventually I design my own version of on illustrator and made it here in Israel, clear front panel. came out great :)
With Sub everything was tip top and fast.

Sub,
For some reason I trust you the most ;)
any way, progress is a good thing, I wish you the best with what your cooking :)
And yes, still miss you.

Here is my panel after painting it..

Hi Isak,

looks good, but I don't understand why you create an acryl-panel for a lot of money only to paint it ?!
I searched for a long time for an acryl-panel because I want to see the iluminated pcb...

x0xsh0p wrote in the last news on their homepage:

> Unfortunately we had some problems which we have solved now. We apologize for that!
> Luckily we have a new partner so we’ll be able to speed up all our processes from now on!

So perhaps it will get better in the near future!
It would be sad if the x0xsh0p, which was so reliable when Chris (substyler) owned it, would sink like the titanic...

P.S.: This message board is stupid: I wanted to write the full name of chris and it said:
