From BackBit....

"BackSID is back with Version 2! As compared to the original BackSID, it offers double the sampling rate and 4x filter accuracy.

BackSID is a modern replacement for the 6581 and 8580 SID sound chips from the Commodore 64/128. It runs using modern technology but faithfully reproduces the classic SID sounds. As compared to other SID replacements, it offers premier sound quality and behaves correctly with classic games, even supporting paddles. It automatically recognizes if you have a 9V or 12V machine and adjusts output level accordingly. Does not support audio passthrough."

Firmware can be upgraded with your C64/C128.  

OverDrive: Adds Loudness and mild Distortion

Filters: Changes cutoff frequencies to match SID Models, or choose a blend.

Smoothing: Reduces waveform aliasing but also sound brightness.

Software Link and Instructions included with Package, Each BackSID v2 includes a Unique Serial Number.
