via the listing: "This is a rare prototype of the already rare Frostwave Resonator. When I first stumbled upon this I decided to contact Paul Perry, the man behind Frostwave, to try and get a little history on my new friend. He confirmed that this particular Resonator was indeed one of a kind. It was so early in production that he had not yet designed a housing for the Resonator, and just ended up using one of the original Funk.a.Duck housings. According to him, all internal wiring on this model is point to point, and with the purist in mind, this prototype is an exact copy of the MS20 filter section, part for part (this means no voltage control, sorry guys). This piece is fully functional, sold as is, with the orignal PSU, also kludged together by Paul Perry.

This is a very rare opportunity, and the closest thing to the MS20 sound without shelling out for an original MS. I've owned both this and the new Resonators, and this thing kills the newer ones. A lot can be said for point to point wiring, especially in high impedance circuit design."

Update via Brian in the comments: "Note the linited I/O ports there's only two , the production versions had 4 CV inputs for cutoff and resonance for high and low filters"
