I got one too... not bad for $99!
I had one that I got in trade when they first came out but I really needed stereo, balanced I/O at the time, so I traded up for an Analog Heat. I love the AH, it's a lot of fun to throw CV at it but it's also a great tool for subtle saturation (I use my API 2500 to drive it, all the time).
The AD sounds great on synths but I mostly use it on electric bass. It excels at maintaining a tight low-end, even at high gain. Also, you don't see many analog distortion/drive/fuzz pedals with MIDI I/O.

Brilliant! I ripped the seat of my pants on the first day of Winter NAMM a few years ago. I had to give products demos all day, just pretending you couldn't see my underwear hanging out. I could have used that kind of advice.

Yeah that was one of the big selling points for me (along with the inevitable musical applications). When I took it out for the walk a couple of weeks ago I was walking through the TV section of an electrical shop and out of nowhere one TV put out this amazing sound as I passed it.
I dunno if you saw my post in the thread with my track but I got mine from SOMA's Polish division. So you wouldn't have to mess about with customs etc this time. They don't do Paypal though, so I paid via bank transfer.

im sure i can sort a bank transfer, i imagine theres instructions somewhere
had a look at the page too, noticed they're offering some sounds for people to use, in case anyone is interested
but you really have to stop posting cool equipment, not sure my granddaughter will be ready for these kinds of toys for a couple of years

I wasn't expecting it to be so large and tanky. For now I've put my Microbrute away and have the AD sitting on a laptop stand above my Reface CS. They make a pretty good pair -- it can beef up the CS's otherwise lacking low end, or push it just a little harder, or make it really scream. So far I haven't even tried it with anything else.
I may have to pick up a noise gate pedal though. The Reface's noise floor is pretty high, and while I'd been relying on software for that, I don't want to go ITB and back out through the pedal just for a noise gate.

Finally succumbed to the lure of hardware synths.
I bought a Korg Monotron Delay, and immediately decided I want another one. Or 2. And, hopefully, that cheap second hand portable multitrack recording thingie with built-in mike.
It's so warm I took off all my clothes. I swear, analog really does make one bigger.
