"This is one punchy sounding machine and has more fat than a packed out hen party in a Blackpool Wetherspoons! It is amazing and although it looks simple the sounds are really quite unique. I rate it second to the Pro One and considering it's only a one oscillator synth it does a very good job on bass, leads, effects, and you name it... If it had two oscillators the Pro One would have become very afraid of the competition back in the day. Oh, and there is an external input filter section.. Yeah!! This is not a sugar-free synth like many of the VA models manufactured today, it is a full fat chunky sounding monster. If it was a human it would be a sumo wrestler on steroids!

Compared to the Roland SH101, or similar synths, the 100F eats them for breakfast and will break windows, crack concrete, and wobble the building where you keep the studio! It is a beast and very underrated, due to its rare appearances in the classifieds.

You can see Vince Clark playing one/miming on Top Of The Pops performing New Life all the way back in 1981.

It is in great condition and easy to use, even though you can play on it for hours and never get bored because it produces so many different and cool sounds, it is nuts!!"
