Sherman Filterbank (Prototype)
Sherman Filterbank (Prototype)
Brand: Sherman
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).
One of just 40 prototype units hand-built by Herman Gillis (aka “Sherman”) in 1996. Excellent condition and full working order.
Product Description
These original units did not have MIDI.
According to the Sherman website just 40 of these Belgian beasts were made. No MIDI and the back "panel" is plastic plumbing pipe. No frills - all thrills.
Serial number: 31 - signed on the back by Herman!
In terms of functionality and sound it is obviously closer to the early Filterbank 1.
Demos coming (if it is here long enough...).
Condition
Very clean with almost no signs of age or use. A small amount of scratching around one screw is all we can see.
Voltage Information
220/240v unit. A step-up transformer will be required for use on 110/120v supplies. Please ask if you need advice on what to use. We do not recommend using cheap, generic Chinese mains transformers.
Tax
For sales in UK this item is on the margin scheme for second hand goods.

"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."
