Teenage Engineering PO-14 sub

I purchased this to accompany my po-33 pocket sampler so that I could provide a wider range of synth sounds for making music on the go. I decided on the po-14 because I am a bass player and love bass!

Pros: High quality feel, easy to begin using, great audio quality and very versatile parameters to tweak for something so small, extremely portable, great battery life

Cons: Even though I purchased this unit in May 2020 it seems to be an old software revision which does not feature the factory reset option. Not a deal breaker, but it does mean you cannot recover factory patterns. This might bother some.
The unit was just loosely in a much larger box with nothing to prevent it from banging around or getting damaged. It arrived in perfect condition but I was surprised that it was not wrapped in something to protect it a bit more.

Big fan of the PO range from Teenage Engineering but had managed not to try the best til last.
Mainly using for writing and improvising.

Versatile and fun groove box.
Runs on 2 x AAA batteries. Fairly indestructible, even without a case.
Great range of bass tones and pitchable drum machine.
16 sounds/ 16 arpeggios / 16 effects /16 drum sounds and 16 patterns.
Can chain patterns to no end too.

Somehow has the fun features of a 303 and still fits in your shirt pocket.
Works great syncing with other instruments.
Strongly recommend this to anyone interested in having fun with synths.

Great starter PO for me. Incredible FM synth package for the price with 15 'sounds' made of 2 FM oscillators which change sound character immensely. Very broad range of sounds available to make/combine. Sound quality isn't the greatest analog synth wise but what do you expect, it fits in a pocket! ...it is very workable with post processing. The sounds are still gritty and FAT, exactly what you'd want from a "Sub". Handling/ease of use isn't the easiest, definitely a leaning curve with any PO when it comes to sequencing but there are plenty of tutorials online. Overall a very good package for the price.
