Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Roland Boutique JX08. Is this digital recreation of the classic Roland JX8P from the 80s up to the job of creating classic vintage synth sounds? Is it not the 80s?

Thanks to Klangfarbe for lending me one of their floor models:
