The Brighton Modular meet is a great place to check out Thonk goods and I’ll be bringing plenty of stock. Previous meets have featured a fine array of systems, including Eurorack, 5U, Buchla, Serge and BugBrand.

If you can’t see the embedded video, click here.

It’ll also be a great opportunity to listen to the the forthcoming Music Thing Modular Spring Reverb DIY kit in action and meet the designer Tom Whitwell.

The event is held at Sussex University. There is an abundance of free parking right next to the venue and it’s easy to load and unload equipment, with plenty of help on hand if you bring heavy gear. If you have any questions drop me a line or check out the thread on Muffwiggler.

Tell us what other knob colours you might like to buy in the future and enter a little competition to win 10 Black 1900h knobs.
