"Ultra rare Korean-made clone of the Roland SVC-350 vocoder. I saw one for sale 25 years ago and thought I imagined it. Compared it to a buddy's SVC-350 I could probably not tell the sound apart in a blind test. Roland maybe 5% more mid-range, could just be standard variance in analog units, this one a bit warmer. Case in fair shape for it's age, probably has been serviced as mic jack looks different. Sliders and pots have zero crackling/noise when moved, frequency faders glide smoothly, each works. I have tested and used every feature fully

-Hold jack (creates mini-loop when pedal depressed)
-vocoder/direct (switches from your voice to vocoded voice, or to synth, depending on where the balance knob is positioned
-ensemble mode (pans frequency bands left/right alternatingly for a rich shimmery stereo sound.
-harmonics knob (increases harmonic content in rich sounds like saw/square waves, I linked to a youtube video SVC-350 FM Synthesis that demos this
-all inputs/outputs/gain selectors fully functional."

ADtech AVC-350 Korean Made Roland SVC-350 Vocoder Clone


via this auction

"Pretty rare adtech vocoder....these were made under license by Roland in Korea but something went wrong with distribution and they never appeared anywhere else. Direct Roland copy...even down to the chipset and layout. Works perfectly and sounds fantastic. Runs on 110 volt but i've had it in my smoke free studio on 117 for years with no problems. Some rack rash on tabs but all else is there."
