How did you manage that? I've been on the waiting list for the next batch for over two weeks now and they won't even take payment in advance.
Im also waiting, but I ordered 3 of them and contacted a bit ago.

Based on the GAS in this thread I've placed an order for the Lyra8 diy kit, and going to have my buddy at Magpie Modular design a super tricked out panel for it.
Random note, I accidentally order 2 Gods Box Lollipop compresser Diy kits. I've got one of em unopened and wanted to see if anyone wanted it before I paid to ship it back to the UK, or perhaps someone has something interesting to trade.

I've only looked at it in detail a couple of times, but it looks a relatively straightforward build, certainly easier than one of the black corporation ones. I would imagine it would be a case of doing the voice cards one by one and testing as you go. The most complex thing I've done is a syncussion clone and it didn't look too intimidating. Also, analog envelopes which seems fairly unique amongst this poly analogue renaissance.
If anything goes wrong though, the troubleshooting is going to be a nightmare. Luckily the smt is all pre-soldered. Im sure calibration will be time consuming, but each through hole board doesnt seem so bad.

Arriving over the weekend, I'll post some first impressions then. It was between that, and diying a kijimi (ideally with 2240 filters) or a vs1 oberheim obx clone. I may still go back to them as my big diy project next year. I like gear that has 'good vibes', and udo george is at the other end of the spectrum from say black corporation and the feeling that in some way you're getting ripped off. Also, the uk is completely fucked and as much as I dont want it to be the case, buying British is almost becoming a moral obligation.
Man Im tempted by the that VS-1. I have an avalon and love it, although mine has the scratchy pot issue and reading all the other issues people have theirs makes me super nervous about investing $2k in a DIY synth that may not have proper support. I'm not a total noob, and have built about 20 euro modules successfully, but not sure if that project might be more than I can handle.
But Damn.... the VS-1 sounds good. -
... now i'll need to make it worth it!
