The THONKICONN jack, essentially a fully vertical clone of the popular Kobiconn jack. A big bonus for the developers out there – this one is it fits neatly into breadboards and stripboard![/three_fourth_last][one_fourth padding=”0px 0px 0px 0px”][/one_fourth][three_fourth_last padding=”0px 0px 0px 0px”]
…and we are also now stocking the PJ3410, also known as the ‘NV’ jack , these are the high quality jacks used on the amazing Eurorack Klee project and also some Synthcube panels.[/three_fourth_last][one_fourth padding=”0px 0px 0px 0px”][/one_fourth][three_fourth_last padding=”0px 0px 0px 0px”]

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.

We are having a sale. Including 30% off the Turing Machine Ultimate Bundle!

I’m exhibiting at Brighton Mini Maker Faire this Saturday (7th September) – Come along!

I’ll have my modular system burbling away to itself, stock for sale and working versions of many of the module kits I’ve sold to date. I’ll also have final prototypes of the ALM SID GUTS Eurorack module, which uses the classic Commodore64 SID sound chip.

It costs £5 to get in for adults, tickets are available on the door but you can avoid queues by booking in advance. Kids under 16 go free.

There are loads of  cool music and synth projects, hardware hacking, robots, Raspberry PI, 3D printers, submarines and even crazy bio-tech stuff. As well as just wandering around in an amazed daze, you can take part in practical workshops on the Sunday too. Thonk customers should feel at home!
