Maestro USS-1 Universal Synthesizer System
Maestro USS-1 Universal Synthesizer System
Brand: Maestro
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).
In superb, near mint condition. This is an extraordinary piece of kit that we have totally fallen in love with.
Essentially it is several of the legendary effects that Tom Oberheim designed for Maestro, all in one beautiful, super-sized unit (the scale may not be obvious from the pictures but it's about 55cm long - the buttons are the same ones as one the classic Maestro PS-1A phaser).
In excellent working order. Fully serviced by a top synth tech. Fully tested by us, because it's just so good and begs to be played with: put a beat, guitar or keys through it and then just start experimenting, stacking the effects and cracking a big smile... Here's a demo of another unit. Scroll down for more demos.

These units are rare and not well known, but as soon as we got our first one and heard it we had to track down another so we could keep one for the studio.
This unit is in near mint condition - a very minor amount of oxidation on the coloured areas, and a few small scuffs to the edges, but other than that it is a perfect looking machine. comes with the original case.
From left to right the effects are:
- Waveform
- Filter & Sample/Hold
- Phaser
- Envelope
- Sub-harmonic
- And there is also a sensitivity control that affects the envelope and sub-harmonic
110/120V unit. You will need a step-down transformer for use in the UK and Europe. We can supply high quality UK-made transformers and do not recommend using cheap Chinese transformers. You can see our US-UK voltage transformers here on ebay - but you can also buy direct (just let us know). You will only need the basic 50va unit for this machine.

"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."

“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."
