guitar pedal converted to synth module.

YouTube Uploaded by textualmusic on Aug 6, 2011

"one terrible visual experience. Apologies.. You are listening to a single oscillator fed through a VCA and then into a newly converted Johnson Echo/Analog delay pedal I got off eBay for $35. The pedal functions as normal, however I added a switch to disconnect the original pots for delay and or repeats, and then control those parameters by voltage control via vactrols ."

"Legendary synth designed by Don Buchla for Oberheim, later taken over by Gibson ... one-card, two-voice ... subject of much commentary and controversy on the www so read up on it ...

this one looks and sounds great, cosmetic condition is EXC as depicted with a few light scratches top bottom front back sides from having been inserted into and taken out of racks, light rack rash, but it is unlikely you will find one in better shape unless it is NOS."

Maestro USS-1 guitar synthesizer system

via the seller: "Maestro USS-1 guitar synthesizer system. I bought it in the mid-1970s from Apex Music in San Diego (wonder where they went?). Reputedly designed by Oberheim for Maestro/Gibson. A real monster of an effects unit, way before the modular flexibility of Boss, Roland, Electro-Harmonix, etc. I used it on several records in the late 1970s-early 1980s at which time it go pre-empted by rack gear (all of which now thankfully is gone). It's been sitting around in the closet basically ever since. Cosmetically it is in EXC- condition as depicted with a few light scratches top bottom front back sides. As was the fashion of the time I engraved my name, social security number and driver's license number on the back lower left side - way before the concept of "identity theft" even was developed!. So now I scraped it off. Electronically the sample & hold works great and is extremely psychedelic; and the phase works OK. The waveform, which is a primitive fuzz control, only barely adds anything to the sound. And I can't get the envelope or the subharmonic (octave lower) to work at all. No pedals. So it is sold "as is" with these caveats as to condition, your tech most likely will be able to get them going without too much problem."

EML ElectroComp 101 vintage analog synthesizer

via this auction

"EML ElectroComp 101 analogue duophonic synthesizer. An opportunity to own a rare vintage EML 101 in excellent original 'collectors' condition - only 1000 were made and this was originally sold on 11 November 1974 based on the log kept by ex-EML founder Dale Blake.

I bought the EML from Tone Tweakers in the USA in 2008 where it had been fully serviced. It's in extremely good condition and is all original apart from the leather handle (which I replaced with one very similar to the original), and the four rubber stick-on feet on the bottom. EML built their instruments from military grade components and they last very well.

The EML 101 has four VCOs two of which can double as an LFO. The VCOs can be swept from triangle through square to saw. It has a lovely and characterful 12db VCF which sweeps continuously from LP through BP to HP and, contrary to some reports, will self-resonante a little. It also has a great modulation control sweeping through AM to RM.

The EML 101 sounds nothing like its contemporary rivals from ARP and Moog and has a character of its own - edgy but huge, with a lot of bottom end. It's capable of duophony as well. There are lots of modulation possibilities, including S&H. It's semi-modular and audio and CV can be used interchangably when using patch cords. It's also possible to tune the EML 101 to tunings other than 12 semitones per octave.

Please note that EML used a system of 1.2v/octave (so 0.1v per semi-tone) which, apart from the lack of practical interface, means it's not compatible with any other analogue synths, but who cares when you've got four VCOs! Please also note that the EML-101 runs on US voltage (110v) so requires a step-down transformer for use in the UK/EU.

The EML 101 is built into its own wooden case and the synthesizer is attached to the keyboard by catches."
