Dear EVO enthusiasts,

As we mark the one-year anniversary of our flagship product, the EVO64, we're filled with a sense of gratitude and excitement. The EVO64, our Commodore 64 reproduction mainboard, has not only been embraced by retro fans and Commodore 64 aficionados but has also sparked a vibrant ecosystem of innovative products designed to enhance your experience. This journey wouldn't have been possible without your passion and support.

A Year of Innovation

The EVO64's success has led to the creation of an array of add-ons and products, each designed with our community's needs and feedback in mind:

• NuTube64 Audio Preamp Module: Elevate your audio experience with the Korg Nutube 6P1 Vacuum Fluorescence Display (VFD), adding color and depth to the EVO's dual-SID audio output.
• Triode64 Audio Preamp Module: Experience unmatched audio fullness, balance, and crispness with our genuine vacuum tube-based preamp module, compatible with 6GM8, 6N27P, or ECC86 tubes.
• EVO PWR Line: To support the Triode64, we introduced the EVO PWR products, including an ultra-low noise 5v switching voltage regulator and a professional-grade Toroidal transformer-based power supply unit.
• EVO Blue Pearl Edition: Responding to your requests, the Blue Pearl Edition offers a DIY build experience with a through-hole component architecture and support for a single SID chip, all at a competitive price point.
• Multi Switch Module (MSM): Our upcoming MSM will revolutionize system settings management, allowing easy control over ROM image swapping, SID chip modes, and more, without the need to open the case.

Community and Support

The highlight of our year has been witnessing the incredible growth of the EVO community. Your engagement across social platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and Discord has been the driving force behind our innovation. The custom builds, event videos, and lively discussions have not only inspired us but have also strengthened the bond within the EVO community.

To enhance your experience further, we introduced the LLM-BOT on our Discord server, available 24/7 to assist with any Commodore 64 and EVO-related queries. This initiative reflects our commitment to providing continuous support and fostering a knowledgeable and welcoming community.

Looking Ahead

With the MODULR system case on the horizon, designed for durability and versatility with its swappable panels and Euro Rack synth inspiration, we're excited to see how you'll integrate it into your setups. This, along with the MSM and other future projects, signifies our ongoing dedication to innovation and community engagement.

A Note of Thanks

As we celebrate this milestone, we want to express our deepest gratitude to you, our community. Your enthusiasm, creativity, and support have made this journey incredibly rewarding. We're excited about the future and look forward to continuing to innovate and grow together.

Here's to many more years of EVO64 and the vibrant community that makes it all worthwhile.

With gratitude,

Darrell and the EVO Team
