"Excellent condition considering the age and rarity of these units. Sounds awesome and is highly playable and tweakable, making it easy to dial in the perfect clap sound.
The Simmons Digital Clap Trap was used on many hit-records of the 1980s and is becoming an increasingly rare collector’s item. Perfect for interesting clap sounds and noise hits, this hard to find Simmons piece does the trick. This version of the Simmons uses a sampled clap plus noise that is controlled/manipulated by an analogue circuit. Can sound pretty realistic, or not if you push the settings.
The Clap Trap allows you to balance between a clap and noise sound. Pitch and decay adjust for each sound. Very nice sound and surprisingly useful for such a straight-forward device. You can trigger it from an external trigger or audio input, manual trigger button or use the auto-trigger mode (with adjustable speed). The humanizer feature alters the pitch of successive claps. To hear the humanizer effect in action, use the manual trigger and play it very quickly."
