Bad Gear - The Memphis Rap Machine


video upload by AudioPilz

"Today we are going to talk about the 1993 Boss DR-660. A few months back I had one of its siblings on the show - the Boss DR-5 - and much to my chagrin I was completely unaware that it was - together with today’s Bad Gear protagonist - one of the key ingredients in a legendary genre with a strong impact on popular music up to this day."

"The SER-2020 is a modern realization of the Synton Syrinx. Original owner, gently used and it was stored in the box most of the time. I got this to see what all the fuss was about and compare it to my own Syrinx eurorack filter creation. Please note this is a version 1.0 production model purchased directly from AnalogFX. And it's green!...a color no longer being offered as it seems... Includes box, manual, USB cable to run MIDI host on computer, power supply w/ 4-pieces adapter prong attachments for USA various worldwide countries."

Thought the darker color of this one was interesting. Usually the front panel is lighter grey.

"Disclaimer: The PCMCIA Slot has been removed completely; there is no capability for expansion cards but everything onboard functions as expected"

"Jomox XBASE 888 Analog Drum Machine Synthesizer 2024 Serviced and Updated by Jurgen Michaelis at Jomox

Several months back I bought an 888 and sent it to Jurgen at Jomox to tune it up and essentially fortify it, fortunately Jurgen responded cause I believe he normally doesn't service the vintage and discontinued Jomox instruments, then after a busy few months I finally got the email that the 888 is ready, has been updated with every modern up to date hardware improvement available, all the presets restored back to factory etc and in Jurgen's words is good for the next decades. Also listed was a brand new internal battery, changing/updating the scanner firmware and new power supply. This is very likely the best Jomox XBASE 888 available currently.

Before I sent it to Jurgen, after having used mainly Elektron drum machines, I plugged the 888 in and was blown away by the boom, heaviness and power from the machine. There is no harder drum machine and kick drum in my opinion.

In my opinion the 888 is the coolest looking and sounding Jomox drum machine with the grey and red finish and its raw sounding samples etc.

I paid 1100 plus shipping for the XBASE 888 before shipping it to Jurgen, then paid to ship it to Jomox, then finally for the service of course and to ship it back, so asking price is very fair in the end."
