Korg ARP Odyssey Rev 2 Ltd. Ed. Black/Gold (Certified Refurbished)
The ARP Odyssey was an analog synthesizer originally produced in 1972 by ARP Instruments, Inc. that garnered a faithful following among musicians. Well respected for its high value, ease to play and portability, the ARP Odyssey is loved by a wide range of musicians as a historical classic. With the advisory assistance of David Friend, the co-founder of ARP Instruments, Korg has completely reproduced the original circuitry for artists looking to recreate classic sounds and explore new ones. Together the engineers at Korg and Arp were able to recreate the sound and feel of the original. Every detail has been carefully considered to stay true to the quality of its predecessor, down to the sophisticated semi-hard case. The legendary ARP sound is loved to this day. Long stopped, the wheels of history have again begun to move.
