Serviced and ready to ship.
NOTE – photos are of another of these we sold recently. The current unit for sale is in superb, clean cosmetic condition!
Fostex 3180 reverb for sale. We like the sound of this uncommon unit which overdrives well.
Pristine example. Serviced and tip top.
Great spring reverb sound – fared very well in our testing for Tony’s Premier Guitar “Lords of the Springs” article. Will also give some useful overdriven distortion; not as full-bodied/gnarly as the Hawk units.
Inputs can be mixed to allow mono signal in to drive both tanks.
Listen to the guitar demo we did for that article (not the unit for sale!), plus you can hear another with beats below.
In superb cosmetic condition with minimal signs of age.
100v Japanese model - it will run on North American mains 115/120v without a transformer (we run all our tests using 120v power); however, a step-down transformer is recommended for extended use. A step-down transformer is required in the UK/EU. We do not recommend using cheap generic Chinese mains transformers and can supply a high quality UK-made unit if required.
For sales in UK the price will include 20% VAT. Buyers elsewhere may incur VAT or other local taxes on import.
One of these units appears briefly in this compilation of recent test bench eruptions:
