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).
Rare Schaller Rotor Sound for sale in good cosmetic condition and excellent working order.
This mono unit features controls for Intensity (dry/wet mix) and Speed.
Dating from the mid-late sixties, this has an unusual circuit design using 18 inductors and has a unique sound. It works superbly - unless you really want a realistic Leslie effect (in which case you should buy a Dynacord CLS-222 or Neo Ventilator). I love what it does to beats especially, but it will add movement and interest to any source and makes a great mix send effect. I've heard that Kraftwerk used them, but can't recall the source - I would expect these would have been pressed into service on the Krautrock scene as Leslie emulators weren't overly common back then.
We have two of these in our studio - we like them that much...
If you turn the Intensity knob fully clockwise you get a wet-only setting - the resulting signal seems quieter than it should be, but this is completely normal.
It has scuffs and signs of age/wear but is in good condition overall.

“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.”

“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."
