"This is the Multivox FR6M Rhythm Ace, but a rare one that has the FR60 on the side in the same wooden housing, with slits in the left side for the speaker to pump out the beats and whatever is plugged into the mic input.
There are 1/4” outputs on the back. If nothing is plugged into the output then the beats are played through the speaker. If you insert a cable into the output jack the speaker is bypassed. There’s a volume knob that also is your on and off power switch. There’s a balance knob so you can hear just percussion or percussion and hi hats. In the video posted in the photos section of this listing you can hear it start off with the balance fully clockwise and a lot of cymbals, then I fade it counterclockwise and it has an effect almost like a lowpass filter. You can hold down more than one button to select more than one beat. You can get just a four on the floor and many variations with the three white buttons that correspond to the switch knob. And of course there is a tempo knob. The mode switch is a nice feature. Each beat has a variation A or variation B mode, but you can also select auto, which will play each variation in succession.
Our tech recently installed a new three-prong power cable and tried to eliminate the faint hum the unit makes, but it’s still there. It’s not a ground hum or anything you would hear in the signal, but more like the sound when a guitar amp is on. Also, once in a while if you’re doing a lot of beat changes a button may fly off. I just put it back when I’m done. It’s fun."
