Incredibly rare effect; serviced and in excellent cosmetic condition. Manufactured in very small quantities, in around 1970 to ’71, it isn’t really a synthesizer. It’s a mix of fuzz, tremolo, and formant filtering—all achieved in the pre-chip era using discrete circuits.

While the paltry menu of effects offered in the Ludwig Phase II Synthesizer may not immediately seem appetising, wait until you see one in the flesh. The design is a showstopper, comprising coloured backlit panel controls and a flip-up panel lid with a flip-down pedal section. And check out the controls: fuzz mix, animation, and formant trajectories (the latter refined into parallel, counter, and vowel variants).
In excellent condition for a unit this rare. There are some scratches and dings across the metalwork. The metal edges are slightly bent in places, this does not affect the functioning of the unit. The interior is also very clean with scattered dings and scratches across. See photos for more information on cosmetic condition.
