I have mixed feelings about TipTop. On one hand, I really like their modules, and when one of the buttons on my Circadian Rhythm sequencer died, they sent me another for just the cost of shipping.
On the other hand, I broke one of my TipTop modules by accidentally plugging the power in backwards (they should really add reverse power protection), and the identifiers on the chips are all scratched off, so I have no way of identifying the chip I fried in order to replace it. Mind you this is a module cloned from a Roland 909, so it's not even like this is an original design.
