"Vintage Analog drum machine.
Elgam Match 15 C
contructed with metal and with wooden ends it looks more like a crane operating panel rather than a drum machine! I think this is from 1970's.
It has:
15 x drum style buttons
1 x- add maracas button (adds extra maracca noise to each drum beat
1 x on button1 x down beat light
1 x tempo slider
1 x volume slider
1 x power on/off button
It is mains powered and on the back it has:
1 x removable fuse
1 x large jack out
1 x large jack - ext. stop
All button do what they are supposed to and it is in full working order. Some scrapes to the decal (in line with the age of the machine).
Comes in a free hard case - it's not an original item but is an adapted hard flight style case from the same time period. They go nicely together.
The analog drum sound is as you would expect - very retro and bleepy (if there is such a word) - the tempo slows things right down and you can get some unintential sounds out of this piece of kit. I have used it running through distortion pedals to get some interesting riff style sounds. As with most analog pieces the options are endless.
no midi or anything else to make life easy...... this is the real thing
It weighs 5.5kg"
