I bought the TE KO-1320 this time, after previously purchasing the KO-130 several months ago. Even though this one has many similarities with the original, it offers a wide range of new performative and sonic options that make it well worth the price. As with most pieces from TE, it offers unique performative options that you don't find elsewhere. At first I though TR was trolling with this, but now that I have it, I absolutely love what is coming from it. If you are looking for an unusual yet highly useful and versatile sampler/instrument, this is it.

I still have the amp and the from panel with the loudspeaker:)

What a fun and idiosyncratic device. There is nothing like the Box of Uncertainty out there. For one thing, the operation manual is only one page long, which makes for instant playability right out of the box. The sound quality is also quite rich. I haven’t yet found the need to process it through FX pedals.
The BOU even looks magical. Rather than having a typical manufactured feel, it’s nestled in a lovely wooden enclosure with fancy joinery, with whimsical names and artwork.
All I can say is that if my music studio ever caught fire, the BOU is what I’d rescue first. Hugh Jones, who manufactures each unit by hand, is a fantastic guy, who’s made himself available to cheerfully answer any questions I’ve had. Plus you get Soundgas as an additional resource. I live in the U.S. and they’re more responsive and knowledgeable than anywhere on these shores.
An excellent and wonderful machine, backed by a store that definitely goes the extra mile, especially when you live thousands of miles away.
You can’t go wrong with Tony or Sandy. The store is kind of like a strange museum, packed with one-of-a-kind products.

This is my new secret weapon for classic rock “not metal” tone

A fabulous handmade machine. Looks the part and sounds wonderful. Feed it what you like and it spits out haunted soundscapes. Recommended

Great build quality, sounds fantastic. The direct on/off function is a great addition, EQ and drive works great and generally sounds a lot bigger and more lush than you’d expect from it’s relatively small size. Sounds a million times better than my on board Two Rock amp’s spring reverb too.

The missing link - couldn’t be happier with it, it sounds incredible and adds enormous flexibility to my recording chain. Absolutely love it.

This little box was just what I needed to get several synths and effects boxes all talking nicely together.

Well made and easy to operate. I’m sure I’ll keep finding new uses for it. I have a small amount of modular and semi modular synths plus clockable effects so this is ideal.

quick and easy purchase - great gift idea

I am a long time Re--501 user and recently purchased the 201 from Soundgas. The machine runs very smooth and is in excellent condition. For me and most of my guitars it does need a buffer to obtain the sounds that justify the premium price these command. The 501 may have some performance edge but this 201 is just clearly more musical and I am completely won over. It is the king of Space Echoes and I am completely satisfied. Thanks Tony !
