SynthDIY Podcast with MeeBilt and PnP Modular 018
MeeBilt's videos on YouTube have always stood out to me.. the quality of the delivery, content and presentation makes me feel lucky to have YouTube as a resource.. In this conversation we get to see a little more of why Tommy's approach is so fantastic.. we also learn he is a charming, passionate human being!! Tommy's approach to "synthDIY" really goes to show what can be achieved from home with the modern availability of PCB manufacture and 3d printing. The end product easily revivals (and exceeds) what modern manufacturers are able to achieve with full research and develop teams. It was an absolute pleasure to have someone I personally regard with such high standing on the show!!
