squidfanny - Circuit Bent (modified) 909 Analog Drum Synth.
YouTube via squidfanny
"Lo-Fi's answer to the tr-909...... Excedingly rare 'Beat Sound Electronic Drum' from the 80's.
Pure Analog machine with 4 wicked drums, piezo pads, a couple of knobs for 'snare decay' & 'phaser range' and speakers.
Added 12 new knobs to handle Pitch, Decay, Overdrive, Feedback, Distortion and Glitch.
Touch Points to trigger and hold the drum oscillators and for nasty feedback.
Some vintage green and red LED lights which flash with the drums.
Adorned with the usual assortment of odd bits of shiney metal.
Added 1/4" Line out / Changed DC polarity / Added protection Diode.
I've been watching ebay for years for one of these exceptionally rare little beautys, to replace one I had a while back. It was busted when I got it (despite ebay description as 'great condition'), probably because the DC polarity is in-correct and there's no circuit protection diode. . . . look's like the previous owner attempted to use the wrong PSU and burned out the power amp. Thankfully it's a standard IC, so repair was easy and we all lived happily ever after. . . . :-))"
