Cherry Audio PS-20 Polyphonic Synthesizer (Serial Nr. + Download)
$75.00 AUD
The MS Synth Experience, Supercharged
PS-20 is an ultra-realistic, polyphonic, hot-rodded tribute to Korg's renowned MS-20. First and foremost, PS-20's dual highpass/lowpass filters super accurately recreate the MS-20's famous raunchy sound in all of its squelchy, screaming glory. In addition to its unique filters, the MS-20’s other signature feature is its modular-style patch panel. We’ve reconfigured the patch panel from the original instrument, adding many desired in and out patch points for all oscillators, filters, and VCAs, correcting the confusing terminology of the original, and throwing in a few extras that greatly expand its usability.
Every part of the instrument has been "souped up" with killer features, including 16-note polyphony, a unique three-layer, eight-step sequencer with flexible CV outs, and integrated effects, including a beastly distortion, modulation echo with stereo spread, and a lush digital reverb with fantastic spring and plate emulations.
The PS-20 truly is one of the most quirky and unique instruments we’ve released. Between its sometimes unpredictable filter behavior, and the tremendous flexibility of its patch panel and sequencer, the possibilities are endless, and the creative "happy accident" quotient of PS-20 is simply off the charts!

Excellent portable headphone amplifier providing high power output with reasonable price. Perfect for both enjoying the music, and audio mixing and mastering. It drives my Audeze LCD-2 pre-fazor really well.
Some cons I would like to point out are the unstackable physicality of the amplifier due to the volume knob at the top. And the battery life, which required 4.5 hours of charging time for 5 hours listening.
We looked at every option to hang four of our guitars (two Fenders, one Ibanez guitar and one Fender bass). Everything we found was just so ugly and cumbersome, and then we found the Openhagen hangers.
We’re always drawn towards Danish design in our home, but the price tag was holding us back because we needed four. In the end, we bought two, and just loved them so much the same day we received them, we bought the other two. They look fantastic and I’m so glad we spent the money.
