As far as I know, IBU creator has gone out of business. They are only available used.

Kaczor is correct. IBU is no longer produced.

I have an IBU2U which I picked up on ebay, so keep looking there. Also, nothing wrong with Clark boards: got 3 of 'em & my tanks have never 'caught fire' or any of the other complaints you'll see about them... easy to set up, plenty of features, & great sounds which you can edit yourself

I've had the sound die on two of my TK50S boards without much use.

I might have an IBU 2 for sale, with amp.
Has Tiger sounds in it.
Not been used since I got it in 2018 and had little use before then by its original owner (Mr Raminator)

With the relatively new TK50S from clark you must use a better speaker min. 7 watts. Using the stock HL speakers will blow the amp on the board. Now here is the difference with most suppliers. The repair costs you the postage and return shipping but the actual repair is a measly $7 dollars...

Would be nice suggestion except that I was using Visaton FRS7 speakers with both units.

Using a speaker with too low of a wattage rating won't cause any harm to the amp (maybe to the speaker if you continually crank it), but using a speaker with too small of a resistance rating WILL do damage to the amp... use 8-Ohm speakers to be safe
