ROLAND TR 606 with Mods

For sale on eBay Germany

English below:

" Die Roland TR 606 wurde folgendermassen gemodded:
- Einzelausgänge
- Mute Switches (kick, snare, lo tom, hi tom, cymbal, hihat )
- Tom Trigger Mute, so dass man von einem Tom nur noch den "hauchigen" Geräuschanteil hört
- und wie man sieht, viele Regler für Klangveränderungen:
links je eine Reihe senkrecht für Kick, Snare, Toms, die gesamte rechte Seite ist für Hihats und Cymbal zuständig

Ich wollte noch einen Griff dranmachen, damit es wie ein alter Ghettoblaster aussieht,
aber auch so sieht diese 606 ziemlich cool aus;)

Ich habe inkl der TR 606 damals ca 1100 EUR ausgegeben (es stecken viele Stunden ARBEIT drin!)
Kommt mit Netzteil.

Hier ein längeres Klangbeispiel

Fragen können gern unter goldtone (a t) web.de gestellt werden !"

English:

"this one of a kind Roland TR 606 was made for me by a tech in Berlin.

it not only features single outs and mute switches (kick, snare, lo tom, hi tom, cymbal, hihat )

but also specials like
Tom second trigger mute (so you hear only the noise of the second tom)
and of course many knobs to manipulate the sounds, the right side is
dedicated to cymbal/hihats with lots of interacting knobs.
As you hear in the audio file, you can even do kind of minimal clicky beats with it.

Plan was to put it into some kind of "old ghettblaster" -style holder,
hence the shape. But the happy buyer might want to do something like that.

Here is a longer soundfile

I paid about 1100 EUR incl the TR 606 at that time - it was many hours of work for the man to do all the mods.
Power supply is included
