Dammit EHX. Quit emptying my wallet! First it was a micro synth, then the SMMH, now vocoder? (that’s what I’m guessing) When will I ever be able to resist EHX?
I have a little bit of info….check this, sounds very cool.

It’s a pic of Mike flexing his arms. It was made during the attempted takeover of the tube factory and was available at the NAMM show a couple of years ago. I’ll try to post a pic tonight.
“attempted take over of the tube factory”? What’s that all about?
have you not got the DVD?
if I get one in my graphic fuzz, I’ll send it over for you. :thumb:

Sovtek According to the New York Times, the ExpoPul vacuum tube manufacturing facility in Russia is under attack by what owner Mike Matthews call the mob. Mr. Matthews purchased the tube manufacturing facility years ago and sales have steadily grown from 40,000 tubes a month in 1999 to 170,000 in 2005. During a telephone interview, Mr. Matthews has said “It’s rock ‘n’ roll versus the mob. I will not give in to racketeers.” With stories of the mod, shady Russian police wearing masks to hide their identity, and bribes that can reach all the way up the Russian judicial system, it makes one wonder who actually controls Russia. Yuri Alekseyev, a chief ministry investigator was quoted by the Interfax news agency, said “Dozens of major deals for the purchase and sale of companies take place in Russia every month. The process is ever more frequently accompanied by gross violations of the law.” In typical mafia coercion tactics, Russian Business Estates director Vitaly V. Borin desires purchasing Mr. Matthews’s ExpoPul factory for pennies on the dollar to, in turn, sell to another investor. Of course Mr. Borin also claims to be using only legal tactics to achieve his goal. It appears ExpoPul is now under attack as Mr. Matthews is refusing to sell the factory as reports include the electricity being shut off and invaders using jackhammers raised dust to contaminate the factory’s clean rooms. The situation grows ever more complicated with each passing week. As for world tube production, the Russian facility is said to manufacture well over half of new vacuum tubes worldwide including those under the brand name Sovtek.
In related news, Russia has become a mixed place to conduct business, including the high-end audio industry where there has been mixed reaction worldwide between the two major importers that have caused a single yearly major show to become two separate shows. Taking sides with either show can be quite a decision on various levels, with some manufactures and press members choosing to not attend either show due to various concerns and fear.

That looks authentic to me. I have an autographed poster.

What’s on the poster, EH Man? Do you have a pic of it?

But I paid as much for it as I would’ve paid for a wooden box without the autograph, so I’d get over it.
Those wooden boxes were such a nice touch. I’m bummed that they discontinued that practice, though it might not be as cost effective or environmentally friendly.
I hope the new cardboard boxes are made from recycled materials.
have you reversed the lid for the picture or does it not have the ‘big muff’ screen print?
you don’t need a white finger, black finger and BM deluxe W/SP and soul preacher!!!!
….but….does the BMD have a attack knob/switch or whatever?
When have I ever been about “need”? 😆 If we start getting on about “need”, then it’s time for me to sell off about 4/5ths of my stuff. But I have to say, I’m trying my best to avoid the XO/nano reissues, only because I’ll be bankrupt if I start down that path in addition to the vintage lust.
The Dlx BMP only has a threshold knob for the compressor.
yeah, ok….’need’ is the wrong word…..maybe “wouldn’t seem too useful’
ahh, what does threshold do? is that like a sustain/compression or whatever you want to call it knob? I like my soul preacher, but I doubt it can do anything that you can’t do with the ‘fingers’ to be honest.

I thought you might get a kick out of this. I bought this Big Muff box on eBay a couple months back, and it has Mike Matthew’s autograph on it. Scott, can you verify its authenticity?
Now if I could just get Mike Matthews to sign my Soul Kiss
