I just saw a review of these 20 watt marshall 'studio' versions of the plexi and jcm800 and I'm kinda intrigued. I would love to take a look inside and see what they did to make them quieter without using smaller power tubes like most companies would.... every time I count marhsall out they come abck in with something interesting like this.

otherwise I have seen nothing that excites me, not even in synths... boring year

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp

I'm stoked about the Moog Sirin. It has a different VCO architecture. The Minitaur uses v/Hz while Sirin uses v/oct. The filters have more steps, too.

Subtle changes like these are how I'm justifying my interest but I'm also a huge fan of the company (read: bias). I fell in love with Moog when I fell in love with Rush as a teen (because, Taurus bass pedals) and consequently have always had an eye on the Minitaur. I visited the factory years later while on tour in Asheville. Amazing tour, and their showroom has ALL THE TOYS.

I bought one immediately and am nearly done making a video demo. I added Sirin to Equipboard a couple days ago and will post my video in a "review" there soon.
