3Leaf Audio Club - Episode 2

Yes! My octabvre has shipped. :-) I hope it won't take too long to the Netherlands.
I will compare it to my two OC-2's. See picuture. The left one is made in Taiwan from around 1990 but the right one is an early original one from Japan (with the 'R' at the end) and made in Aug. 1984! So 30 years old and it does sound a bit more round and organic than the later ones.
If the octabvre does sound as good or even better I will be very happy because it would also solve some problems with the limited headroom the OC-2 has. And offcourse the second button for the suboctaves is genius!

Let me start by saying that I am not fishing and I have absolutely no interest in selling my original Groove Regulator but while browsing various sites looking for something new and fun to gas over I stumbled across a few of them listed in the $250-$300 range. Is this true? Has the original GR already gone up that much in value? If that's what they are trading for now in no time they might be worth as much or more than the Meatball they are modeled after.
