Rantbot sold and shipped one very nice original 1970’s Fender Blender on Reverb.com. Schematic shows five transistor craziness from after the age after tubes but before op-amps. Transaction went smoothly, Reverb.com is awesome, but Rantbot’s ancient servoes grieved a bit to see Fender Blender go. It was so great on kick drum mic, and built like a tank.

Doing burn in testing of MIDI-Lappi modules #1, 2, & 3. Rantbot connected Arturia BeatStep Pro to MIDI-Lappi. Rantbot is reminded of 1980’s percussion sounds. Rantbot tasked with finish testing and procure shipping materials and stop procrastinating.
