A rare early analogue Musicaid Clap Trap in good cosmetic condition and very good working order.
There are very few analogue Clap Traps in existence. Famously-used (and abused) by Throbbing Gristle and The Human League among others…
Sonically it offers a wide range – from huge oceanic crashing waves of noise to rhythmically-challenged helium finger pops (thanks, Ensemble control) – there’s also occasional near-realistic electronic claps in in amongst the myriad options. This is a very early unit and is pretty wild compared to the later ones – some ear-piercing resonance at higher settings make this a contender for serious techno-abuse.
There are minor scuffs and scratches to the finish, and some pitting and bubbling to the paintwork, but as you can see from the photos, overall it’s in pretty good condition. One knob is missing its white cap.
220/240v unit. A step-up transformer will be required for use on 110/120v supplies. Please ask if you need advice on what to use. We do not recommend using cheap, generic Chinese mains transformers.
