So Thomann’s shipping department is like level 1 bajillion. When I ordered, they estimated delivery for January 20th. That thing hit customs December 22nd and my front porch on the 23rd. I had to let it decontaminate for a few days because the box was way to big to just disinfect, but I decided to open it up today and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.
First of all, they TRIPLE boxed the synth. So the Super 6 was in a canvas bag, in it’s box, in a thomann box, in another thomann box, and every one was brimming with packing material so none of it would move. Then I realized that I had imported this thing from europe and it was probably going to have the wrong power cable for US plugs. Nope. UDO has 2 boxes of accessories in there with the synth (sealed with UDO tape for some reason, like they don’t have US distribution figured out but by god we need custom packing tape), and one of them is 3 different kinds of IEC to wall socket cables, so you are up and running pretty much anywhere. The other is some sweet stickers and a USB cable for firmware updates along with the manual and a huge card imploring you to update the firmware first thing - which I proceeded to ignore and started programming sounds immediately. So my bad on that one, we’ll see if I can save those patches and get them into the synth again after the update.
I’m really digging it. It’s a different synth from my Rev2 for sure, but I don’t feel like I’m going to regret having to sell the Prophet to make room for this. Anyways, I’ll stop bragging now. I’m excited, thanks for humoring me. I promise pictures next week when my patch bay gets in (never thought Amazon would lose that shipping race) and sounds soon-ish.
