Musicaid Clap Trap - SN HC311

Musicaid (Simmons) Clap Trap for sale in very good condition and excellent working order.

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 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.

This is the very first iteration of this rare analogue clap synth: few exist and most you'll find are far from reliable and require work (we've had another one on our long term repair shelves for some years).

Famously-used (and abused) by Throbbing Gristle and The Human League among others.

Check the YouTube demo below of a later Simmons unit we sold back in 2013 - they'd tamed/refined it a bit by then: the one for sale here is definitely wilder and we'll get a demo of it once it's serviced.
