Bought this when it first came out in 2015. It is the "SE" Special Edition Blue version of the original Microbrute. Very fun and versatile synth that you can really sculpt new and interesting sounds.
Synth comes with an original box, power supply (UK 3 pin), two patch cables, instruction manual, preset cards, and a grey shoulder bag to carry everything. Some of the blank preset cards have light pen markings on them. The condition of the synth is a good working condition besides some very minor markings you can see in the photos.
