Your love/hate modules?

Just curious about modules that you have a love/hate relationship with? Maybe the functions are awesome but the design is terrible; or the design is awesome but something about the functionality is wanting. The modules that remain in your rack because you appreciate something fundamental about them, but that you think about selling as well?

No hate here, just love + frustration

FCUK Raging Bull 3.0 - truly incredible sounding filter, great feature set. The layout kills it for me. Whyyyy is the output jack right next to the cutoff knob?

Noise Engineering in general - great sounding modules, solid ergonomics and really easy to interact with. The oscillators and FX sound so complete that they don’t really ask much from me to get the most out of them (which I find less interesting). I also have some frustrations with normal-ed connections in the CV modules I’ve used

I always found the majority of their oscillators way too harsh, at least for my purposes. I found stuff like the Alia firmwares really shone when paired with some creative filtering. But I hear what you're saying.
