Cheap fun.

4 stars cuz yeah, this was a crazy cheap buy-grabbed it cuz I was gonna be on the road but these cheap little pieces and lending tons of weird color and fun when I'm recording. The veneration of a black face this or Marshall that all come undone to a degree when you see how much fun 40 bucks can get you. Painters don't care how much a "red" costs-just the results. Same goes here. Music is kinda like painting + time.

Oh yeah! I almost forgot you can't get this to self oscillate without even plugging anything in! Awesome little creative tool. Also sounds really cool when the batteries are dying.
