No problem with the polyphony, as I basically use this one for 
solos. I do like the Miniak a lot. It has a good sound, it's 
small, light, and it makes all the noise I need for gigs when I 
don't want to bring that heavy Virus Indigo.

But...

What I really don't like is the archaic FX section. Reverb is not 
good; Delay, way too short max times - stereo use means half the 
delay time (2x300 ms); not possible to use delay and reverb 
together. No real EQ. Sjeez, come on.

OTOH it was only €279. Got a nice soft case too.

cheers,
