The Commodore C64 SID chip is a much loved and iconic sounding device, but one day they will all be faulty. There have been replacements made using modern components for some time, but now there's a new SID on the block with very few compromises, lots of features, and a price tag that won't set fire to your wallet.

The SIDKick Pico pushes all my buttons, being simple, excellent value, and yet very powerful and feature filled.
