EDP WASP SYNTHESIZER& SPIDER SEQUENCERELECTRONIC DREAM PLANT Serviced Mar'17
Legendary EDP Wasp by Chris Huggett, quirky looking toylike synth but a serious piece of kit, capable of rip roaring synth lines, fat bass...just straight up dirty with so much character. Great for all types of Electronic music.This was recently serviced by SRS in Mar'2017 and is studio ready.EDP WaspCasing is in very good condition with a minor crack on one corner as seen in the picture. One rubber foot is missing on the underside.EDP SpiderThe casing is in good cosmetic condition with very minor wear and tear.The underside has the battery cover missing and also 3 rubber feet. Not many synths will come close to the Wasps tone quality and an even rare chance to grab the Spider sequencer which so rarely comes up make this thing a joy to use and will surely get those creative juices flowing! PLEASE INSPECT IMAGES CAREFULLY AND DO ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU ARE NOT SURE.In any case this does not affect its functionality. Kept in a professional smoke free studio and tested prior to listing.
Comes with a non-original quality power adapter for both the Wasp and Spider, the link cable and also bound copy of the printed schematics and manual.We specialise in vintage equipment with an extensive list of synths, drum machines and effects units not all listed here. We ship securely and will ship worldwide. Our previous clients include Rudimental, Mount Kimbie, Route 94, Amine Edge & Dance and many more...so you are in safe hands!
Worldwide shipping and all enquiries are welcome!
**NB In the case of most vintage synths there may be occassions of scratchy pots even after service, in most cases turning the pots a good few times resolves this problem. In extreme circumstances a suitable switch cleaner may be used which can improve this drastically.
