"EML101 - Just serviced and calibrated in Paris by Benoit Guivarche /insta/ @bg_.s (Air, La Femme, etc) - Serial number 1095, serials started at 200 making this number 895 out of about 1000 ever made by the Connecticut based company in the 70s. If you already have the standard Korg and Moog offerings this synth will bridge the gap and give you a different playing field. It has 4 oscillators, can be duophonic, amplifiers can be overdriven if desired simply by cranking the osc volumes, has ring mod, 2 envelopes, tons of modulation capabilities, a super musical beast of a synth. I've had it for 25 years now, I'm going to regret it, but it's time to pass the torch."

"Daughter needs tuition money so parting ways with my Jup-8.
I've had for 15 years in a smoke-free studio. Comes with flight case for safe shipping and a Roland MD-8 Midi module for connecting to the DCB port.
Will ship Jupiter 8 in flight case, with MD-8 separately.
Could probably use servicing as has 'scratchy' volume pot."

Mono analog synthesizer keyboard from the late 70s. A bit similar to an SH-2000. It has a spring reverb. Everything works very well."

"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."
