Best SID instrument?

Well, topic kinda says all.
The tune itself doesn't have to be good at all, only the instrument(s). ;)

'Impulse' by Taki has some pretty awesome 16x drums.
And just to make it a bit less complicated to choose instruments: NO SAMPLES.

linus: better watch your crack :P

steppe: you ask about this sound in my tune or in general :D i meant wah-wah ;) it reminds a bit quacking of duck. polish musicians call this guitar effect 'kaczka' or 'kaczuszka' which means literally a duck :P

this episode with duffy totally rocks :D

The hammond organ was AWESOME.
The filter plus the "nonstandard" tuning (CGKOTY, it would've been "nonstandard" if it weren't made on a C64), gives it a real 1930-40's feeling, like an old nightclub somewhere in a dark alley...

It has some really nice instruments, especially the sync part starting from 0:06.

Sorry for the bump, but this tune not only sounds great, it actually sounds a bit "peculiar", in the way that it uses BFJNSX-tuning instead of CGKOTY, so it's tuned +30 cents (CGKOTY was made for NTSC AFAIK, and on PAL it's -60 cents).
