Doesn't list the reserve in the auction, claims they are New Old Stock:
mpc8 tube sound
mpc9 octave box and
mpc3 treble/bass expander

Not the most desirable modules, but hey, they look unused! Cheers, Mike.

I don't even own an MPC, so I'm the last one who should be commenting, but I hear people talking about the Flanger and Phaser as being pretty sweet. I thought the Frog was like a personal Amplifier (remember the Dude with the Headphones on the Catalog cover by the side of the Highway?), again, not sure how desirable that would be.

What I'm really confused about is whether the two sockets are wired differently, and if some modules will only work in one of the slots, or if they sound different if put in different order? Also, sometimes you see places for two 9 volt batteries, sometimes only one. Ah well, happy holidays all, Mike.

There is one 9 volt battery cavity with a standard connector; the other battery cavity has no connector or any wiring; maybe the design here was to carry an on board additional battery - which I have never done; usually have an extra battery in the guitar case or in a gig bag;

Have the Flanger and Phaser and both sound great; had the Frog Nose, but traded it to Thorny; had limited need for it when I started using a Tom Sholz Rockman instead. Thorny has modified both of my Power Overdrives and I consider it money well spent (wasn't that much anyway).

The lot of three ended up going for a Whopping $255.99 before shipping. Another auction just listed all 12 different modules, will post what that one goes for also.
