I had ordered a few kits from him just a month prior and he was super helpful when I goofed and paypal receipt had my old address. I first got into Frac Rack before eurorack and built a system to be an effects rack for my guitar. After doing Eurorack synth DIY builds I’ve gone back to John Blacet for more kits. I hope the family understands he created a community of musicians that are using his musical instruments daily. He will be missed.<div><br></div><div>Kylee Kennedy</div><div><br></div><div>PS I hope the Blacet synth company lives on in some form or another.
