"Back in the late 60's Maestro came out with a multi effects unit that was super weird. Fuzz, tremolo, envelope filter, low octave and even percussion settings all mashed together into a playing dynamic triggered, creativity inducing fever dream. Half a century later Templo has recreated that experience with pedalboard friendly modern convenience."

"Templo Devices T2 Multi-Effect

Based on a classic coveted Maestro Rhythm N' Sound effect console from the 60's, this unit has kept the original analog flavor, while adding some much needed footswitch functionality.

Combining many unique effects in a handy, pedal-board friendly version, the Templo T2 has the following features:

PERCUSSION

-A percussion synthesizer with 4 different sounds that are triggered by the instrument attack

BASS STRINGS

- A sub-octave generator with quick decay on initial pick attack


FUZZ

- A fuzz effect with parallel dry-blend option (Natural Amp)

WOW WOW

- A triggered filter effect with two fixed (cocked wah) color tone positions

ECHO REPEAT

- A percussive tremolo that resets with each note played giving the illusion of a delay effect.

The main advantage to this unit over a vintage unit (besides availability and price) is the handy footswitching arrangement:

The CANCEL footswitch true-bypasses the entire pedal.

The FUZZ footswitch toggles the fuzz effect, and:

-When the fuzz is bypassed, the Natural Amp setting is always on.

-When fuzz is engaged, the Natural Amp rocker switch toggles a dry blend in parallel with the fuzz

The WOW footswitch bypasses the modulation section, comprising the WOW-WOW, ECHO REPEAT and COLOR TONES 1 and 2 effects. These can be selected for use with the rocker switches and then bypassed using the footswitch.

This pedal is very fun, funky and colorful, imparting a vintage, somewhat lofi vibe to your sonic signature.

The T2 operates on a standard 18V DC center negative power supply.

We recommend running it from a dedicated power supply, as it may sometimes have issues with a multi-output supply.

All analog construction, with mechanical true bypass switching."

"Great condition Sequential Circuits Pro-One.

Recently service where it was calibrated/tuned, all new bushings were put in, and the transformer secondary was isolated from the chassis ground to eliminate the 60 cycle hum."

1962 Wurlitzer Sideman tube-powered analog drum machine

Published on Oct 18, 2014 Golden Gate Estate Services

"This is a 1962 Wurlitzer Sideman rhythm machine -- the first such device ever (other than the Chamberlain which used tape loops). Entirely tube-powered, it uses a rotating disk and contact brush to trigger the sounds, as well as having a group of buttons with which you can manually play the various voices. The whole thing comes in a furniture-grade cabinet, weighs about 75 pounds and (thankfully) has wheels.

This particular example is in good shape and mostly complete (lacking a couple of knobs). It works although some of the voices are a bit 'iffy' and could use some tweaking to get the best sounds out of them. A little 60-cycle hum could be cured with replacing the electrolytic power capacitors. The cabinet is in nice condition with some tarnishing to the brass 'instrument panel'. Available in San Francisco."
