The Three Blomigos

George (swissdoc), Till and Boele at it again. They sent some images to the Waldorf list and of course this is what came to mind. Mini escapade by me.

In order:

Earning their lunch with the Blofeld

Lunch at McDonalds

Blofeld Road - A good days work is complete!

And their three Blofelds. Note the MicroQ knobs on one. Close-up shot here.

Update: Three more knob types:

You should be able to guess these based on thier names.

Udpate: More info from Georg on the three Blofelds

"Blofeld Messe Prototype
Frank Schneider hat to tinker around here during last night before the Messe to make the display fit (somehow the wrong displays have been delivered)


Blofeld Pre Series Version
Different labeling on the Matrix and the right display, so quite tidy internally

Blofeld Production Version
Midi LED added, Power Switch added

Non Waldorf content, upper row:
Electro Harmonix Phasers, two different black Russian Small Stones,
two different green Russian Small Stones (older model), a new USA
version and a Behringer UP100

We did in fact recordings of the Phasers (incl. a DOD one, not shown)
driven by the noise of the Blofeld. Maybe more on that later..."

  1. Love this!!! you guys & Matrix are fabulous for sharing this. I wonder how Beverly Center in L.A. would react? These Blofelds seem way cool, especially w/ chips & a milkshake!!!!
    Happy New Year!

  6. Yeah it's obviously a reference to the film, The Three Amigos and of course all the blo(insertreferencehere) names they have come up with so far. They are all great guys in my book.

    As for the pics. The first couple are pretty funny, but I thought the Abbey Road one was particularly great.

  7. I'm surprised that a Waldorf owner hasn't retrofitted a Blofeld with a big red knob.

  11. beacuse i've waited so much for the blofeld and waldorf didn't released it i finaly bought a uQ and now i'm tunning it the way the blofeld is designed. i'll post here (of course, with permission) the photos of the Nu uQ. it will include also an USB port like the blo (just for the midi - and it is derived from CME U2Midi cable, just like the waldorf included the AC adapter in the big Q). It is faster than normal midi transmission.

    By the way...great MatrixSpOt here and i always come back for news and a good pice of information.

    P.S. When the Blofeld will be available for us, usual mortals, probably i'll tune it to - it seems that it will be a long wait...

    good luck, waldie!
