Oy, now I come to the fork in the road with my Serge.
My single Serge panel has a checkered past; it's a series 79 that was
repackaged in an STS panel. There is no color coding on the jacks; the VCA
initial gains are wired backwards; and recently, the filter died. (Which
brings me to the modules: NTO, WM, VQVCF, DUSG, PHASER, Dual VCA x 2, CM x
2).
Given these problems, the royal hassles involved in getting a Serge fixed,
and everything, I'm debating just putting it up for sale at a budget price,
or fixing it. If I sell it, I'll "replace it" with Oakley and MOTM modules
in custom banana-jack front panels. I do intend to expand, but probably not
with Serge; the price per panel makes incremental upgrades difficult.
Thoughts?
