Better than the Prophet 06!
Lots of fun, GREAT sound, awesome factory presets, better than the Prophet 06.
If your on the edge between the Prophet 06 and the OB6. Buy the OB6, it just sounds so much better out of the box. You can of course do similar sounds, but the OB6 sounds more modern. I tend to use more aggressive sounds, and the OB6 fits right into my synth line up. I ended up selling the Prophet 06 because it just sounded so weak, helpless, and well kinda old "I mean vintage", so vintage that it was hard for me to find a use for it without first making a drum track beating on pots and pans.
The FX on the OB6 are very basic, just like the Prophet 06. My personal in depth opinion of both synths are that they have a thin sound, and really need those "basic" effects to make them sound good. Not that they sound bad, but you have to understand that even Dave Smith has made some serious sacrifices in sound quality in exchange for more American Dollar Bills.
If you want real Oberhiem sound, but a Two Voice.
