fun for the price, I bought it mainly for the filter which is the same as the one in the Korg MS-10 & MS-20 and you can run any audio through it, but it looks a lot more fun than just that

I just got one of these yesterday.This thing is so cool and fun.Could mess around with it all day.One question though.....I hear you can plug instruments into this thing and mess with the sound via the filter.
I tried pluggging a guitar into the aux jack while feeding the headphone jack to a mixer and powered monitors but Im getting nothing.
Am I doing something wrong?
The thing works fine through the monitors when the guitar is not plugged in.

I had that happen - I can't remember how I fixed it, though!

I did find that the filter wouldn't self-oscillate very well if the incoming signal was too loud. It took a lot of fiddling around, but I did just about manage to make it work.
