i heard he is also making 909 now

hey

regarding 808 clones check out this one www.eight-oh-eight.org

its diy only but sounds good..

cheers

I'm in the process of cloning one myself from the original schematic, the only original components that are not available are the transistors, but there are equivalents that are like for like. I'll also be adding 1v/oct CV to the pitch.

You should post your progress...

looks good.

I've seen the MB 808 before and wouldn't mind building, but i'm useless with electronics.

I'm good with a soldering iron, but when it comes to knowing what things are meant to do, and testing - i'm just a buffoon.

I built a midibox SID, after years of having the parts, but just can't get it to work, despite everything seeming to be in the correct places. its very frustrating, i simply don't know where i've gone wrong with it and it sorta knocks my confidence when it comes to building anything else.
