Muff's Modules & More

Popski · Posted: Sat Apr 07, 2012 4:34 pm Post subject: I'm waffling more than IHOP!

Finally started a new(ish) job and will have a bit of cash soon and my plan was to jump on over to 5U.. slowly, one module a month or so (yeah right)..

everytime I play around with the Euro though I think.. ahhh fuck it.. I'm committed to this lil guy right here..

and then I think about how awesome a 5U would play with the M5N and Voyager and Moogerfoogers and I change my mind..

back and forth I go.
so.. yeah..

I think I've gotta do this.

JLR speaks truth to power!

(By truth, I mean the love between 5U and Eurorack, and by power, I mean 110 Volts AC)

I know the feeling... I spent over a year contemplating between euro and MU before finally committing to MU... There's a lot of enticing options in euro (especially for FSU!).

Hey John, you still at only that one Happy ending kit, or did your euro expand?

fuck your house. 5u and euro can work if you want it to. i am maybe thinking of a second euro row. feeling great with 1 diy 5u row and 4 wondrous rows of modcan b. all rack rails atm but the modcan is going to be moving to a case.

Contrary to popular beliefe, IHOP is not primarily known for their waffles... It's all about the hash browns.
Now if you haven't already, you need to get you some Waffle House waffles. Roscoe' Chicken and Waffles is also a good place to go for waffles.

Get both. It is inevitable. You will be assimilated.

But seriously, having both formats available really increases your options. Format choice was a big issue for me... I kept "waffling" like yourself. But ultimately, with a 5U/Euro hybrid I don't feel like I've really missed out on anything (except, perhaps, for the Buchla 222e

experience). For space reasons, I opted to go with a much larger Euro system compared to the MOTM. If it were feasible, I'd really like a giant wall o' Modcan/MOTM/Oakley to go with my giant wall of Eurorack (and of course.... some Buchla MARF

). But for now I'm very, very happy with my hybrid setup.

It's highly recommended, especially if you've got a Voyager or M5N around. My 5U and my Voyager are best pals. And they all play so nicely with Euro as well...

It keeps growing though. Well, the Euro anyway. I started out with a 9U Doepfer suitcase. Then it swelled into a Gemini. And then I added a Skiff. And now there's a Base90 on the way. And I'm thinking about another skiff. Crack.

Yeah, the IHOP in Edmonton is pretty piss poor IMO. Like a sub-par Denny's, which is almost an impressive achievement.

I've got a pretty robust Euro for full-on FSU / processing SU.. but I'm most def going 5U... I just needed a final mental push from Wiggleland.
