Hmmmm .... not very encouraging.  Yes, I'm in the "found one (on the
internet) and deciding to buy" category.  And it's not possible to go
try it out.  Here on the East coast they seem to be much more of a
rarity (along with used/trade/rent music stories and pawn shops - at
least where I live.  Damn!)   Anyone else with an opinion? (and perhaps
some sound samples? <g>)

Thanks very much for your opinion, Rich  :)

                 All in jest...and there will definitely be some who
disagree, but
                 IMHO, it makes the same sound as beating your head
against the wall.
                 That's the only sound i heard...because i kept beating
my head
                 against the wall trying to make the damn thing work!!!

                 Seriously, some folks say it does magical things, and
it does sound
                 like nothing else sometimes.  I just found it
incredibly frustrating
                 trying to fine tune or create my own patches.  You just
keep turning
                 the dials until ya hit something, and then go "....oh,
ok, i guess
                 that's how feedback #1 set at 32 on 'Cycloid'
sounds...", or
                 something like that.  Good luck trying to 'recreate' a
sound if you
                 didn't save the patch.

                 Have you found one and are deciding on whether to buy
or not, or are
                 you just curious and want to hear one?  Where are you
located?  In
                 Southern California, they are quite common...they pop
up in the
                 Recycler often and the used/trade/rent music stores or
pawn shops
                 often have one or two that they've been sitting on for
a couple of
                 years.

                 If you're ok with the UI, you're set...
