cash to spend...

[tom adam]

I've tried the polyevolver years ago. I liked it a lot, but couldn't 
afford one at the time.  WHat would a second hand go for these days?

The MatrixBrute was on my list, but voted against it as it sounds too 
similar to my modular.  But I've listened to some more demo's today and 
I have to say that it does have some nice sounds coming out...

Still got mine I bought in 2004, serial #15, and you all know how rare it is for me to keep gear. Only thing I’ve had longer is my Korg Prophecy (also an excellent choice for weird)
