"An American-made, analog drum machine with a distinctively woody tone and a remarkable feature no other drum machine posses - Modulation.

Swipe for a demonstration of how it operates [video previously posted here]

On the back is an audio input for modulating external instruments like guitar, organ or why not a string machine? Much like a side chain compressor, the external signal gets muted by the individual drum hits of the rhythm pattern engaged, almost like a tremolo but rhythmically syncopated.

There’s a slider to control the level of audible drums or instrument input signal.

10 drum sounds and 16 rhythm patterns are available to the user.

No individual volumes are at our disposal but a slider to emphasize the brighter or bass-y drum sounds.

Excellent condition unit with a small bump on the front wood panel.

110 Volt power with standard American power connector."
