Welson Super-matic S12 Drum Machine - VEMIA
"Rare vintage drum machine which works, but in a way that doesn't let you forget its extreme age. The cracked veneer on the top of the lovingly-made cabinet adds to the effect of being very very old for this technology. Sounds aren't exactly vibrant or accurate, but you don't buy one of these for that. 'Shake' is a nicely-dated name for a rhythm; and the four buttons on top are fun, for adding sounds manually. Lo-fi, lo-tech, but good fun. Nice power / bar light. One of very few drum machines to have an impedance matching control on the back - oops, maybe if I'd tweaked that the sounds might have been brighter."

ReplyDeleteThere's one going in a market just 'round the corner. Should I get it? Are they good?
ReplyDeleteYou won't have to convince me... It's EXACTLY what I've been searching for to get a JJ Cale groove going over here. But I've never heard of 'em.. JJ used a 'Rhythm Ace', 'Ace Tone' & pre Roland gear.... Like hen's teeth now & mega bucks ( so I resolved to satisfy myself with the 'Funk Box' iPad app. But to have the opportunity to actually 'own' this!?!
ReplyDeleteJust tell me cos I'm gonna have to sell something ;/
