Studio Clearout Continues..MXR 185 - Drum machine.  Programmable Vintage Drum Machine with Original Manual, in Fantastic Condition.  1983  Individual Outputs and super playable. The MXR Looks and Sounds like the Linn Drum.  A really beautiful Machine in full working order, cool, rare and clean including the Original Owners Manual. A favourite of Cabaret Voltaire the MXR 185 was the flagship of American Company MXR.  
The Founder of MXR and also Alesis, Keith Barr, saw the potential for an "in" into the market and decided to consult both Roger Linn and Tom Oberheim on the design concepts of a proper digital drum machine. At the time of the development of what was to become the 185, Roger Linn who reveling in the glory of the LM-1, was just putting the finishing touches on the LinnDrum and Tom Oberheim who already had massive success with the DMX was looking to make improvements with the DX. The MXR 185 was one of the EARLY drum machines and was directly modeled after the Linn and Oberheim concepts.
