A new version of X2GS is released : X2GS TE = third edition or tiny edition
It functions the same as the previous X2GS but much smaller form factor :
Official GS sound on a 35mm x 25mm waveblaster module !
I received permission from Dream to be a little creative with the license sticker placement, to save space 😀

Wow and I thought the original was small 😋

Life? Don't talk to me about life.

Very cool! That thing is tiny!

Also, I'm probably not the only one wondering this these days so... do you know what the tariffs\taxes\fees are like for someone in the US purchasing from Serdashop? I haven't made a single international purchase since all that stuff changed, but I've read that there can be brokerage fees and other unexpected things even if tariffs are low or there are exemptions for whatever class of product I purchase.

I have been meaning to do a big order for a few years now but always end up having to use the budget for that elsewhere. I wish I'd been able to do it before all of this stuff got more complicated.

Now for some blitting from the back buffer.

Yes shipping to USA is possible again from Serdashop :

  • From Serdashop you can order without VAT, and just pay for the goods + shipping cost. Make sure to enter your correct mail address and phone number when ordering,
  • I will make sure all administration for export is done correctly, and hand the packet to UPS
  • UPS will send you a payment link, to pay 15% duty on the declared goods, as well as a 14$ processing fee, before importing into US
  • After UPS receives your payment, shipping will resume and the packet will be delivered.

So far this process seemed to go smoothly.

Okay, thank you for the detailed breakdown of how it works right now!

That additional 15% + $14 definitely hurts for larger orders... but it is nice to have some solid numbers to work with. I have a good friend from Belgium... not sure if it'd be cheaper to have him bring an order back with him if he goes back to Belgium for a visit some time. Or maybe that's like smuggling black market MIDI synthesizers or something... 🤣. What an absurd world.

Anyway, thank you for continuing to make these awesome devices. I hope to get some eventually. 🙂
