ROLAND TR-808 RHYTHM COMPOSER
ROLAND TR-808 RHYTHM COMPOSER
Brand: Roland
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).
For sale on behalf of a customer: a Roland TR-808 in very good cosmetic condition and perfect working order.
This 808 has had very low use from new: the original owner is a well-known producer who put this back in the box in the 80s and left it there. There are a few scuffs, scratches and patches of oxidation to the finish, but it's clear that this 808 hasn't had a hard life. As can be seen from the many detailed photos below, it presents very well. The original box is tatty and missing the polystyrene inserts - at the time of listing, the manual has not been found.
It's just been serviced by James Walker at Synth Repair Services.
It sounds great and is a joy to program and tweak.
It is a UK 240v model so a step-up transformer will be required for USA/Canada.
We do not recommend using cheap generic Chinese mains transformers and can supply a high quality UK-made transformer if required.
We've sold several excellent 808s to satisfied customers in the past so buy with confidence.
Please view the many detailed photos to fully-assess the condition before buying.

"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."
