Class piece of kit...!
Nøkken303 15.07.2021
From creamy triangle waves to nasty squares .... It's so good.

Can sound super musical but can also be a totally off-the-handle and wild on the opposite end too.

Build quality is above what I expected; think Moog but with a lovely boutique take on things. All the pots and buttons feel of premium quality.

Sequencer is immediate and doesn't take long to get your head around.
Only possible downside, if I was to be picky would be patch save; but given it's immediacy and how much fun it is I've not missed it.

Random pattern generator is fun to get some ideas if your stuck and the modulation/parameter record/step change is very cool. You can get some impressive movement out of it.

Being able to use it with external midi/CV sequencing or a controller is great too.

Love it .... ! Well-done Erica!

Thomann as per usual providing fast service, the right advice and price.

The hype is real! Just buy it already!
YEET FROM SOUTH AFRICA 06.08.2024
You've watched all the youtube videos, you've listened to all the demo's and you're still reading this review trying to make up your mind if you "need" or "want" this synth. Yes, I know, GAS is real.

However, let me help you make your decision:

You need to click 'Add to Basket' and then pay for this item. You will wait anywhere between 48 hours, up to 6 days (international clientele) to receive said item.

You will be a happy person once you receive it and play with it on it's own for about 10 minutes.

That's all the time you need to convince yourself that this is a good buy....

You'll realise that when you start twisting the knobs on the unit, the sounds emitted from it is out of this world, it's tight, it's loose, it's gritty, it's filthy and it can be clean and smooth at the twist of a button. You can save patterns / sequences / banks with modulated parameters / presets. Clocking it externally works effortlessly, but you knew all that from watching the videos!

It's built like a brick, solid steel case, knobs / buttons are all premium. Great feel/response to them, feelsgoodman!

Unbelievable sound!
MacNap 05.05.2020
This machine has unique sounds, from very gentle bass to squeaky noise. Ideal for live performing or studio.
P.S. don't compare it with 303, it's a different beast.

Great sounding machine!
seiska 01.07.2022
The dB 01 sounds great! The sound is in the same vein as the sh101 by Roland. The sequencer is very powerful and gives the unit an extra dimension. The unit is a bit pricy but definitely worth it if you like hard techno sounds
