Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Donner B1 Analog Synthesizer and Sequencer. Can the Donner B1, inspired by the legendary Roland TB303, keep up with the competition of affordable acid synth clones like the Behringer TD3, Roland TB03, Cyclone Analogic TT303, DINSync RE303 or Mode Machines x0xb0x? Is it yet another affordable mono synth? Who's the mysterious company behind it?
