Maestro Rhythm King MRK-2
Maestro Rhythm King MRK-2
Brand: Maestro/Gibson
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).
Serviced and working well. Love the sound of these Maestros.
Virtually identical to the MRK-1 machine used by Sly and the Family Stone on “There’s A Riot Going On” and many more artists besides (Beck loves his). The MRK-2 has the added "Balance" control (basically a tone control that increases/decreases the cymbal sounds), plus the "Paso Doble" rhythm is replaced by "Swing 2". Here's a handy picture of a 1 and 2 side by side on our Instagram feed.
Serviced and working well. Footswitch had been replaced with a homemade version - it's basic but it works and fits in the storage slot at the back so we left it as is.
In very good condition with scuffs to the face but overall very clean.
We have original covers available for these - please let us know if you want one.
- It is a 110v model.
- 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/EU the price will include VAT. VAT-free sales are possible to businesses and individuals in the EU (outside the UK) with a valid VAT Number - please get in touch if you wish to buy this way.

"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."
