You can find a demo of the Maestro W-3 and some pics of the foot pedal in previous posts here.

"This 1960s Gibson Maestro W-3 Woodwind Instrument Sound System Synth is in very good condition. Powers on and top knobs work correctly. As far as I understand the bottom controls will not work without the pedal plugged in. Could be modified or an original/custom pedal attached. The microphone is working but has not been fidelity tested. Looks to be a clarinet attachment. See photos for full condition details...

"This is a Vintage 1960's Gibson Maestro Rhythm N Sound G-1 Synth/Effects Unit w/ Original Case! The pictures are of the actual item for sale.

In 1968, the Gibson/Maestro Rhythm N Sound arrived on the scene to challenge and perplex guitarists with its way-way-out “sounds” and absurd features. It has the ability to make both percussion and bass (octave under) and organ (fuzz )type sounds, using the guitar as a controller/trigger. In addition you can get 3 types of filters on the guitar tone and either use them together or separate from the original guitar signal. The Echo preset is really a hard-knee tremolo. The Distortion is not unlike the coveted Gibson/Maestro Fuzz, which has a sort of grinding fuzz sound with no real fidelity. The String Bass appears to be an octaver."

This is a cool old effect system developed for woodwinds, but sound incredible with guitar, bass, and keyboards (synthesizers) too. Includes w-3 unit, foot pedal and the case. It's in perfect working condition! I had the 1/8" input converted 1/4" so you can plug a guitar or bass right in without an adapter.
