A frienf of mine owns the second edition analogue Clap Trap and that´s
the only
other one I´ve seen. Mine is the first edition one.

I also own the digital hihat with the extra PCB with the ROM
on, BUT the Musicaid one uses the analogue circuit to produce the hihat
sound.
It sounds more like ringmodulated or probably the SSM-Chip Resonance is
modulated
by a hispeed LFO (FM). It might sound different due to some inside
tweaking
by it´s former owner, but I think the snare is a bit harsher and has
more click.

The DS-4 is more like the Polard Syndrum (I own the 478 with original
box and all accessories)
but with more features. Sounds great.

I´m more into the analogue stuff (except for digital Simmons of course
;-)
But if you will let go a SDS-3 I´ll take it ;-)
