via this auction

"The Magma is an analogue bassline synthesizer inspired by classical synths from the 1980s. It offers the possibility to mix 4 x different waveforms (saw, square, sub, noise). The 24dB low-pass filter is also inspired from classical filters from the 80s.

To this particular sound of the 80s, Eowave added a touch of modernity with modern controls and parameters saving features. The 16 x steps sequencer has 4 x rows: 1 for the notes and 3 x freely assignable to a parameter of your choice that enables to create living sequences with sonorities like Vince Clark or Yann Hammer.

FEATURES
VCO can be modulated by LFO and PW
Variable glide
Mixer to mix the 4 waveforms
External audio with a trimmer to feed the filter
24dB low pass filter roland style for a classical 80s sound
Filter can be modulated by env2, KB, lfo
VCA is affected to env1
2 x envelopes ADSR modulate respectively the amplitude and the filter
LFO with 8 waveforms (triangle, ramp up, ramp down, square, random, digital noise, staircase up, staircase down)
USB connection (for software update and MIDI I/O)
4 x rows: 1 x row controls gates and notes
3 x other rows are freely assignable to any parameter of the front panel
Swing and shuffle per note, you can transpose the sequencer with an external MIDI keyboard"

ARP Odyssey Mk II - Model 2810 - 4035 Filter

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Up for auction is a very interesting ARP Odyssey model 2810. This vintage synthesizer appears to be one of the first 2810’s made by ARP. It appears to be a factory prototype of the 2810 as the internal serial number engraved into it is 2810-015-PT. We believe the “PT” stands for factory prototype. Based on the component date codes we believe this 2810 was built in 1974. The circuit boards are all mark II. This unit has the sought after 4035 filter (the “Moog” filter.)

Although this unit has several external case dings and scraps here and there, it is in fully functional, excellent working condition and plays great. It has just been refurbished and calibrated by Dean here at Five Star Engineering. Dean was ARP factory certified back in 1976 and has worked on hundreds of ARP Odysseys over the years.

The back portion of the plastic casing has been cut as pictured (ears clipped.) All that was left of the external serial number tag before refurbishing was the hardened label gum, so there is no original external serial number tag presently on it.

This synthesizer has had all of its aluminum and tantalum capacitors replaced. It has had all new key bushings properly installed. All of the slide potentiometers have been properly reconditioned, and they slide like new..."

1973 Roland RS 101 String Synth

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

"Instant 70s and disco action. 1973 Roland RS 101 String Synth. Same as RS 202 but with slightly different chorus. This one has a 3 way switch chorus. Very Rolandy Chorus and also a cool vibrato that is fun to tweak in real time. All working. No cover on this one. Slight body damage on left side but covered by tape. Add a delay pedal and things will get crazy... Classic 70s string sound that is different than the other 2 more famous string synths from that era. Reminds me of David Bowie and Joy Division."

Metasonix TM - 1 Tube Waveshaper/Ring Mod

via this auction

"This model is discontinued as of 2009.

Original owner; purchased in 2008. The electronics are 100% intact and functional. I had it mounted in a different case and lost the original knobs in the process. The housing has some wear and tear. More pics available upon request.

Frequency response: less than 10 Hz to greater than 40 kHz
Distortion: from less than 0.1% to 100%, depending on control settings and input waveform
Hum and noise: less than 0.5 mV
Power input: 10 - 12 volts AC, 50/60 Hz, 0.8 amp at idle
Inputs: phone jacks for audio input; optional inputs for beam-tube CV, VCA CV, and ring-modulator external carrier (requires at least 20v p-p signal for full effect) Output: audio (mono)
Dimensions: 7 1/2" (192mm) x 4 3/8" (112mm) x 3" (77mm)
Weight (not including accessories): 5 pounds (2.2 kg)

From bigcitymusic.com..
'The pentode preamp gives gain and distortion; the pulser injects small pulses on top of the signal; and the beam tube gives both wavefolding and ring modulation (carrier provided by an internal wide-range oscillator, or inject your own carrier signal). The TM-1 can also be used as a self-contained pseudorandom signal generator, by patching its output back to its input. You've read about "strange attractors" and other chaotic sound generation techniques? The TM-1 is the first all-tube chaotic sound generator. The results must be heard to be believed!'"

EVOL AUDIO FUCIFIER DISTORTION SYNTHESIZER/OVERDRIVE FILTER SHAPER

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The Evol Fucifier is a distortion synthesizer & sound shaper, designed to give you many colors with which to create and shape your palette of sounds. Everything in the signal chain, from the Mic Pre, the Vintage Germanium Preamp, the Filter, and the inductors in the Equalizer to the output transformer, is designed to be overdriven, saturated, overloaded or distorted in a pleasing way. Mix & match the Vintage Germanium Preamp for a little warmth or overdrive, the Tape Saturation overdrive for a little compression and limiting or a bit of saturation, the Filter/Crossover (which in itself sounds great overdriven or even pushed into self oscillation with a sufficient amount of resonance), the Dual Band Distortion which allows you to mix many different kinds of distortion, and the vintage-style inductor based equalizer to shape the overall tone and color of the sound."

Korg FK-1 Synth Pedal Filter Wah SN 751695

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This vintage Korg FK-1 is the holy grail of filter pedals. They rarely come up for sale and usually are missing the control pedal when they do. This pedal is so much fun to play with and very musically expressive. The only thing not completely original with this one is a tab on the red Traveler fader knobs for the manual filter control has been removed. The tab was supposed to keep the bottom fader from moving to the left of the top fader but many people removed this tab on purpose to facilitate extreme settings. This is a minor alteration and has no bad side effects. Please check the large images and ask any questions before bidding. Cable to connect pedal to unit is included. More information can be found on this item at my website www.dcxsound.com"
