Roland Juno-60chat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

The chorus effect is the soul of the Juno-60 sound. Multiple owners single out the built-in chorus as central to the instrument's character, fattening a simple single-DCO design into something rich and iconic. Some wish for a wet/dry blend since it can dominate a mix quickly, while others say avoiding the chorus reveals different, stranger tones underneath, showing how defining that circuit really is to the classic Juno identity.

Owners consistently praise how intuitive and inspiring it is to play. Commenters describe the synth as immediately playable with a one-button-one-function layout that makes patch editing fast even for beginners. Long-term owners say they still find it inspiring after 15-40 years of ownership, jamming for hours and discovering new sounds, with several specifically pushing back on claims that the synth feels limited.

Vintage prices have risen sharply, and age brings maintenance needs. Buyers recall paying as little as $150-$750 decades ago, but units now list for $2,200-$2,500 or more, prompting some to balk at current asking prices. Long-term owners report needing repairs like replaced sliders and switches, and voice-chip crackling that worsens with playing time, though many instruments still function well after decades of use.
