GIBSON MAESTRO RHYTHM QUEEN MRQ-1

via this auction

"This is a very nice vintage MRQ-1 Maestro "Rhythm Queen" drum machine. It is in perfect working condition, and looks great for its age, only has minor wear on some corners and edges, no rips or tears. The sound that comes out of this unit is excellent. Great for playing guitar over. I particularly like the GO-GO button! Adjustment between the Balance and Tempo with 8 separate rhythm models, makes this a very versatile machine. Excellent for studio use, has 1/4" output to amp on back panel, or built-in speaker on side."

Gibson Maestro Rhythm n Sound G-1 Guitar Synth

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Here is a super clean Maestro G-1 that was just found in the attic of an old music store. The owner of the store said that's his handwriting from 1968 or 9 on the price card. He forgot about it in the attic storage until this last month.

I have fully tested and played with it for several hours, it is fully functional, smells amazing, sounds amazing, and is a real stunner! Instant Beach Boys! The tracking is amazing, the sounds are fresh today, cool drums triggered from pick attack of the guitar, an immaculate octave down string bass, a nasty fuzz octave down, incredible filters, tons of control, infinite possibilities and will work with any 1/4" input."

Maestro Rhythm N Sound G-1 Analog Guitar Synthesizer by Gibson 1969

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. via this auction

"If you're looking at this you probably already know what this is. If not, this is a very cool, vintage guitar synthesizer effect designed for guitar (but works with other instruments, too). Basically, you can use your guitar to trigger these analog drum sounds and/or bass down octave, with or without fuzz. You can blend in the guitar with its 3 "Color Tones" or have it just play the synthesized sounds. Very cool, vintage box in really great condition.

Comes with original, fully operational case. Original foot switch is in perfect condition and is included."

Guitar Loop Processed by 200e & friends

YouTube Uploaded by dkimcg on Jan 27, 2012

"A simple guitar loop goes through a bunch of processing with the Echoplex sending midi clock to the Machinedrum. The sends on the Mackie go into the Buchla which does nothing without an input signal. No clock on the Buchla, just catching envelopes to run pulses here and there."

Gibson Clavioline France Selmer ondioline synthesizer

via this auction

"1950's Made in France Clavioline. I suspect this was a Gibson model since the 6 pin plug on it matches the Gibson schematic. These were made under license by many companies in many countries. Probably most famous for that 'Telstar' lead sound, also used on the Beatles 'Baby you're a rich man' (that weird Indian sounding oboe sound) and in modified form on 'Runaway'. I don't know that anyone is using one of these today in music outside of tribute/cover bands. Who knows, one of these may end up on an upcoming Daft Punk or Air record.

Physical condition: paint has lots of little scratches and dings as can be seen in the pictures but nothing is broken, all keys are in good shape -no cracks -just some scratches that will polish out, all toggles are in good shape and toggle, volume lever is present and its guts look clean, tuning knobs on either side are present and turn easily and all the hardware holding it together looks like the original hand made French Cad or Nick plated stuff. All in all a nice unit to restore or just clean up and use.

Functional condition: All the cloth bound wiring looks to be original without any cut wires. All capacitors are the original 'Tiny Chief' items and will likely require replacement. All tubes are in good shape -though untested. All the keys feel like they're doing what their supposed to. As far as using this, these were designed to be mated to an amplifier that provided power. I don't have the amp. I was going to build a break-out box that powered the unit, conditioned the signal coming out, had a regular volume pot and a 1/4" instrument jack. Not a big job for a competent DIY tube electronics type.

Box will be 26" x 18" x 8" and weight about 18 pounds."
