"Here we have an ARP Solus - model 2353 (USA/1978). Its been professionally serviced, as all Klassic Keys GB synthesizers are, and now works 100% ....condition is absolutely "as good as it gets...", runs at 120 Vac. There is one small scratch on panel (see photo). Keys are in excellent condition. This is a good-looking synthesizer, in attractive orange livery a la genuine ARP products (USA). Its well protected as it is in a proper case, with removable lid; very unusual for ARP synths!
A truly undervalued synth from the last days of the ARP empire. It has an edgy, aggressive sound that can tear your head off and is especially useful for creating stinging lead lines, monstrous bass drones, otherworldly effects, and industrial-strength kling klang sounds reminiscent of Kraftwerk. Though many note its similarity to the Odyssey, its digital ring modulator, reverse envelope, variable waveform selection, and easily accessible CV patch bay really put the Solus more in 2600 territory. A little known fact: Edgar Froese of Tangerine Dream used the Solus on the group's 1981 album Thief and during live performances in Berlin and London."
