RARE GB Rhythm analog drum machine pedal Colorsound...for sale!

A very RARE GB Rhythm drum machine pedal from the 1970's that I think was made by the historic Colorsound company in England. Works 100% with no issues, just tested into my Fender Vibrolux Reverb and it sounds like it did back in the day when I used it with my Guitorgan Condor GSM rig. Sounds sooo friggin cheezy its cool. Every setting 1 to 10 works along with the speed and volume controls. Runs on 2-9volt batteries for 18 volts of DC power.

If Dr Dre, Ez E and Ice Cube had this back in the day with N.W.A instead of the TR808, the drum machine sounds would have been a lot cooler in my opinion.

SEIKO Frequency Wristwatch Drum Machine!

At some point in the early 1980s, watch manufacturers ran out of sensible new features to incorporate into watches. They'd already tried calculators, radios, cigarette lighters and even TV sets to get the attention of an increasingly jaded public. Rather than give up, Seiko chose to think outside the box. Way outside.

One can only imagine the sake-fueled club hopping that led to the development of the Seiko Frequency. This odd little device incorporated a speaker and six drum patterns, "created solely for watch by popular music producer Tetsuya Komuro," along with two metronome modes (one audible, one visual), an alarm function that played one of the six drum patterns or just beeped, and an EL backlight for checking the time while basking onstage in front of your adoring fans.

The Frequency wasn't marketed in North America or Europe, which is probably for the best. There are currently several on eBay, although they're anything but sensibly priced. [via Matrixsynth]

MULTIVOX FR-3....a clone!?

Apparently Multivox has nothing at all to do with Korg, Univox sold Korg made gear, Multivox sold what are often clones of Roland products, or in this case Acetone built by Hillwood, this info was originally posted on our fave BLOG EVER! the mighty www.matrixsynth.com
