KORG Polysix With Reverse Keys

via this auction. Note the battery has not been replaced on this one. KORG Polysix's are notorious for leaky batteries that fry the traces on their circuit boards. It's usually not a matter of if it will happen, but when. I'd be surprised if this one did not already have a leaky battery. You can read more about the promlem and the fix on Old Crow's Synth Shop. Note if the board is fried you will need to swap it out and symptoms vary.

Details:
"What could possibly be weirder than a guitar synthesizer pedal made in the early seventies by a drum company? Like many so-called guitar synthesizers from this era,

The Ludwig Phase II is not a synth but actually several effects, including fuzz, voltage-controlled filters and gating, combined in a box that unfolds to reveal a rocker pedal, several oversized mushroom-shaped footswitches and a control panel placed at a height only Verne Troyer would fine comfortable. With a little patient tweaking, the Phase II can produce, the sound of anything from alien conversations to spaceship landings-the kind of weirdness that’s made it a favorite of Sonic Youth (Washing Machine), Primus’ Larry Lalonde (Pork Soda) and Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready (Binaural).

From my own experience, if you’re looking for a tone or an effect of originality or one that can’t be easily copied, than this is it! The Fuzz on it (although not the greatest fuzz sound out there) has its own distinctive sound to it. The Animation (which is the reason why you want this) there’s nothing out there even in today’s market that duplicates this effect. With 3 different settings (Parallel, Counter, Vowel) on the Format Trajectories which cohorts with the animation, leads to all kinds of crazy unheard sounds. With the foot pedal you can control the rate or speed depending on which setting you have it on and the design on this is real secure.

Listen to Sonic Youth’s “The Diamond Sea” beginning part or Beck’s “Cold Brains” intro to hear some of the sounds you can make with it.

This is truly an awesome pedal!

Specs:
-Fuzz Mix - including voice fuzz
-Animation - choose between FFM, Fuzz RPT or both. Fast or slow start, even change intesity and rate.
-Parallel, counter and vovel formant trajectories.
-Foot Pedal with primary bypass, and stereo outputs.
