Sorry it's gone. We may have another in stock or on the way. Please enquire below (or check our weekly Gear Update for incoming rarities).
Ace Tone Rhythm Ace FR-1 drum machine for sale serviced and in good condition and great working order.
We love our vintage beat boxes, but we've got a particular soft spot for this one from the late 60s as it is the model J.J. Cale used on his debut (and big office favourite) “Naturally” - good article here about early beatboxes, Sly Stone, and J.J. Cale from Wax Poetics if you're interested.

Ace Tone was started by Ikutaro Kakehashi who went on to found the Roland Corporation. The build quality and attention to detail is great – these machines were built to last. And the sounds always surprise us with a richness and real character.
Standard preset rhythms can be modified by simultaneously pressing combinations of buttons.
It’s a very vibey machine and a big favourite of ours - not dissimilar to the Maestro MRK-1.
See below for a quick demo with various pieces of Ace Tone gear including a Rhythm Ace we sold recently.
Condition is good – some scuffs and signs of wear to the tolex and the light grey part is slightly discoloured; there is also wear/damage to the handle.
Serviced and converted to 240v operation.

"Excellent equipment, wonderful service. I fully recommend Soundgas to anyone in the vintage gear market and I will definitely be a return customer. The gear itself was exactly as advertised and in great condition."
DAVID WRENCH
“I’ve bought a number of items from Soundgas recently, and have been really impressed with their service. It takes the stress out of buying vintage gear to know it’s been properly (and faithfully) serviced or restored. Their after-sales service has also been exemplary. Highly recommended.”
TOM JOHNSTON
Fantastic. From initial contact to the product landing at my door the service provided was outstanding. Safe and secure shipping, quality serviced product.

"Finally, a company that tracks down all those brilliant curiosities that bring so much character and personality to a studio."
JOSH LLOYD-WATSON & TOM MCFARLAND - JUNGLE
“Imagine the perfect eBay.... with everything you never knew you wanted… and you can rest assured that your vintage and rare wobbly sound device will turn up on time and in one piece and possibly in even better condition that when it left the workshop. Soundgas - literally amazing."
