Hello everyone. I'm shipping my Vintage Microtubes Pedal to a friend and want to make sure I send along everything that came in the box. I have the pedal that fits snuggly in the bottom of the box and a paper sleeve that holds the user manual, a pick, the rubber feet (that I never put on the pedal) and a decal. With the paper sleeve on top of the pedal there is still about an inch of space at the top of the box.

Is there anything else that comes with that pedal? Of course I can make sure it's packed securely but I don't want to leave anything out and it's curious that there is so much extra space in the box.

TIA!

So far there are selections from Handel's Messiah with Mellotron and synths.

This is the description from the channel's "About page"

Handel - The " Electronic " Messiah by G.N. Maroudas & The Electronic Philharmonic. A different take on one of the most beautiful works ever created. The Electronic Philharmonic consists of: 10 VST mellotrons, entirely sample based using the original tapes from Mellotron MKII & M400D. Hammond B3 organ via the Roland SRX, Rock Acoustic Piano via the Roland SRX, Distorted guitar playing cello parts via Roland SRX, Pipe Organ via Roland D50, Choir Voices via Mellotron and Roland SRX.

17mm MTN-BST2 Boost Driver.

I think we've all been waiting for this. When I say all I mean it -- you've been waiting for this whether you new it or not! OK, perhaps just the flashlight builders. But please excuse the excitement...

It means we can easily build 1x18650 6V and 12V XHP50, XHP70, XHP35 and (I suppose) MTG2 lights. It means similar outputs as the triples and quads with a reflector. I love the beam profile from a 10511 triple but similar output in a Convoy M1 is great too :)

Kaidomain has offered an H1A 20mm boost driver for some time. It's possible to fit a 20mm dri

I became enamored with the Radikal Accelerator before I realized they were out of production. I’m trying to figure out what would be a good alternative. To that end I’m wondering how/if someone could recreate a couple of sounds, on any other synth, from a piece performed on an Accelerator. The piece is on Youtube — Radikal Technologies Accelerator demo #6 (Physical modeling) (start). I’m wondering what could match (as closely as possible) the bowed and plucked sounds in that piece. Thanks in advance.

The Kaidomain H1-A boost driver can be ordered separately or within three XHP50.2 flashlights.

There is a lot to say about this driver. The following is partly some good information (mostly from djozz) while the rest is a teaser with more (hopefully) to follow in other posts.

Armytek has sustained a considerable amount of (IMO deserved) criticism on their own CPF forum for the way they've handled their measurements, documentation and product rollouts. I just dropped back in on CPF for the first time in months and learned that Armytek has updated some measurements on their product pages; new measurements for throw in particular.

Armytek's old figure for the XP-L HI Dobermann was 450 meters which wasn't credible. They have revised it to 381 meters which is very credible; and decent for a light that size.

The new figure for the XP-L HI Predator is 437 meters down from the previous figure of 540 meters. Which means u/emarkd really nailed it when measuring an [XP-L

Several new models and discounts on previous models.

TL;DR The Eagle Eye X6 is a especially good host for flashlight builders. The X6 along with the Eagle Eye A6 and F30 are now available in host only form in the Eagle Eye Store on Aliexpress -- Shenzhen jin lang electronics. Shenzhen jin lang electronics is actively engaged with the flashlight builder community which is great news. IMO, anyone with aspirations to build flashlights should get two Eagle Eye X6 hosts. Keep one with your current favorite emitter. Use the other to evaluate every other emitter you can get your hands on. Swapping emitters in those things is about as easy as it gets.

A couple of months ago u/Zamboni_Driver said in a comment about a triple build:

I used three of the cheap fasttech nichia 219A. They are warm white but have amazing tint. I can't stress how much I love the tint on these things. I put a frosted TIR lens on it as I primarily use it indoors up close.

I'd heard about them before and that comment pushed me over the edge and I ordered a few. They were backordered but they eventually got here and then sat on my bench for a while.

I've been inching towards higher CRI emitters. I've had a 5000K Nichia 219 triple for quite some time which

An XPH50 model, SC600Fd III Plus, has appeared in the Zebralight spreadsheet.

At 5000K and 93+ CRI it could be compelling.

For anyone not familiar with the ZL spreadsheet, don't hold your breath. ZL doesn't consider this any kind of commitment yet.

Mountain Electronics has the Convoy C8 and Convoy M1 back in stock and is now offering the guppydrv firmware as an option.

In my not so humble option the C8 and M1 are a couple of the best budget flashlights available. [They are my favorite flashlight hosts budget or otherwise, period]. The guppydrv firmware offers 22 different mode groups to choose from -- including from 1 to 5 modes, with and without disco modes, with and without memory -- starting from high or starting from low.

Ever since I saw PCE Mac emulation running in a browser I've been hoping someone would do the same for NeXTSTEP. Checkout Previous and NeXTSTEP in a browser.

The new SC600w Mk III 18650 Flashlight with Neutral White High Intensity XHP35 is up for pre-order.

They haven't listed the hot spot angle which would be ZL's only indication of throw.

Any bets on who leaps first?
