Pearl FM-8 Fightman

Pearl FM-8 Fightman for sale serviced and working well.

Sounds: Open & Closed Hi-hats (can be triggered separately), Crash, Ride, Snare, Bass (kick) and Toms x 3.

Serviced and our tech has made a breakout box that plugs in via the mini-DIN sockets. Box has nine trigger inputs accessed on the front via mini-jack sockets. Trigger inputs work with +5V pulses; tested with a piezo pickup, should work with most inputs.

This unit was originally designed to connect to a set of pads (via the DIN sockets). The line input just runs straight through (for your backing track!). Built in metronome also present but not exciting.

Youtube demo below (with thanks to the uploader), but also definitely check out this one from the reliably brilliant/full-on Baseck on twitter as well.

Condition

In very good cosmetic condition with one noticeable chip to the woodwork. See photos for more information on cosmetic condition.

Voltage Information

100v Japanese model - it will run fine on North American mains 115/120v without a transformer (we run all our tests using 120v power); however, a step-down transformer is recommended for extended use. 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.

Tax

For sales in UK/EU the price will include 20% 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.
