January 29th, Dr. No Laboratory, France

Update on the build process of Dr. No’s newest creation, the KUKULCAN. As you’re probably aware, Dr. No’s effects are always handmade. Every part is meticulously crafted, concepts are thought out, and tonal design is done to the highest level. The KUKULCAN is no exception. This time, the bar is set even higher.

Integrating Dr. No’s own transistors, the “Skullsistors,” took more effort and time than expected. The time and investment required were underestimated, but they’re almost ready to equip the KUKULCAN.

Meanwhile, the housing is coated and the design is silkscreened by Dr. No. There was a challenge with the KUKULCAN print on the front. The goal was to have it flocked for a more tangible, beastly effect, which worked out better than expected.

The knobs Dr. No envisioned didn’t exist, so they were sculpted and cast exactly as imagined. The in-house made knobs get a flock layer to fit the KUKULCAN’s overall feel.

Dr. No is working 24/7 to get the first series of 50 KUKULCANs ready by end of February. Only 100 handmade copies will be made. To secure one, send a message to info@drno-effects.com or subscribe to the newsletter at www.drno-effects.com
