I love this thing!

I've already done a ton of songs with it! It does take a little getting used to, as some of the features are not easy to remember unless you use it all the time, but he sound is great! Especially the filter WOW! My only gripe? The step buttons work intermittently after a while. It's same on my LXR-2. Other than that, I think it's one of the best little bass boxes you can get! Certainly a great value and inspirational tool!

Great, but not perfect

It's a great piece of kit, but it's not perfect.

It's very fiddly and not very intuitive to access some of the functions.

Since they went for a more vintage aesthetic, the tiny screen often isn't very useful to know what you are doing. So you have to spend some time with the manual.

It can be a little hard to visually tell what's entered in the sequencer, I'm sometimes squinting and wondering if it's a trigger or parameter change.

But overall, it has a lot of features packed into it, many of which are great for live performance, and invite to playing around.

The sequencer is more advanced than you might think, at first glance.

And it sounds really, really good, with some unique character.

Great sounding machine!

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

Unbelievable sound!

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.
