Is there room for top mounted jacks in those bastards Tom or are they pretty well stuffed?

I know, I know. Picky, picky. LOL

I was thinking the same thing.

Stuffed like a burrito.

I'd have to double-check measurements, but I think I I could use a similar size enclosure that's just taller that'd make room for top-mounted jacks.

God I really want. I need to find a friend who can loan me one to try out. I'm kinda over extended right now with recent gear moves. These look killer though.

I'm going to order the AB-Synth XS as soon as I can move some gear :!!!:
I'm fighting the urge to buy one now and worry about selling gear later.
It's exactly what I've been looking for and I love the graphic!
Might even grab the Algal Bloom XS if I sell my Algal Bloom (I like the little enclosure and, y'know, more knobs :snax: )

Is there something on the AB-Synth XS+ that act exactly as the drive knob on my 5k?
One of my favorite sound on the 5k is fuzz to max, but drive around 9O'clock.
In this setting the oscillation is so easy to control!!

No, but we could drop the Osc knob (by "fixing" it to the full-left-setting) and replace it with the Drive knob.
(I've been wiring the Drive knob so, in oscillation mode, it acts just as your guitar's Vol knob does and pitches down.)

The other option would be adding a 6th knob to the XS+ which I think I'd actually have room for.
