I am in the process (early stages) of developing a new set of mods for the x0x as well as thinking of offering the kit along with a new silver coloured case. The case is identical to the standard one but is coloured silver, like the one in my picture (see the "guns for show knives for a pro" thread)
The extent of the mods is as yet not finalised, and I may indeed offer just the case, as well as a full mod set including new knobs to match. The price is not finalised but at this early stage I am just testing the water to see if there is any interest. I may produce a new front panel design to implement the extra controls and this would of course add to the expense, I plan on getting all the parts manufactured and small runs can be costly but if the demand is there it would be a possibity.
So:
1. Would anyone be interested?
2. The price would be reasonable but not cheap, kit form but with full instructions.
3. The case mod along with the knobs could be optional, or available separately.
Let me know what you guys think, and as soon as possible I will post further details so don't bombard me with questions, for details of the mods planned see my other thread as detailed above.
Cheers
FF

Sure, the case's will most likely be around £30-35 since they are custom sprayed using a very expensive and hardwearing paint and the cost of the case itself, also due to the small volumes involved. The colour is quite a close match to the panel.
The new top panel will be CNC machined and engraved with epoxy infill for the legend and anodised clear aluminium (maybe with the option of other colours) I do not have a price for this yet.
The knobs will be machined aluminium, so the overall look will be very classy indeed (not that the stock version is not nice anyway)
The mod set will probably be based on 5 variations (in ascending price order)
1. Cosmetic only (case and knobs) DIY
2. Sound mods only DIY
3. Sound mods and new panel only DIY
4. Cosmetic and sound mods DIY
5. The full works FITTED (possibly)
Things I will not be doing.
Firmware mods (don't know how!)
LED mods (easy enough for ppl to do themselves)
All of this is based on the demand, I will certainly be doing my own but if less than 10 people are interested then I won't be able to get price breaks so the kits would be too expensive.
Here are some definate mods that will be available
Bass boost
Extended cutoff
Extended env mod
Resonance boost
Filter fm
VCF Overdrive
Tons of I/O
Env mod to pitch (great for drums and weirdo bendy BANNED)
I am also working on a dedicated external "Spanker" box which is like a kind of distortion which sounds WAY better than any guitar pedal since the bass frequencies are not lost and it does not add tons of noise to the signal. The likely cost is about £65 and it will work with other gear too.

I'm very, very interested in a fully pimped semi-modular version (5). If the price is right, then count me in.
I've just got in on the second shipment so with any luck I'll be kit-positive soon.
Tell us in detail about those sound & I/O mods you have in mind again?
BTW are you thinking of an all-mods off switch? I'd like that.
