For sale is one original classic Roland SP-808 sampler (photos 1-to-4 $899) The specimen for sale was used as back-up unit only and performs flawlessly. comes with one pre-loved 100mb zip-disc that can be re-formatted to get you started.

I take the SP-808 on the road with me at my gigs due to its versatility & intuitive on-the fly tweak-able nature to spark creativity even for a novice sound technician. One of my favourite phrase machines and perhaps anecdotally sounds superior due to its own unique dynamic properties of the zip-disc format like the magnetic analog tapes or even mini discs format, but hey, I'm not here to argue..so I'm stacking up heavily on zip-discs and drive spare parts so should anyone who endorses the original SP-808s! 

Unbalanced or balanced optional I/O board, new/used zip discs or external zip drive are optional for purchase at additional costs if interested. Subject to availability.

This model has seized in production and bound to be a classic! and only getting harder and harder to acquire. Grab one now while it lasts.

There may be some inconspicuous imperfections due to moving, re-storing and racking overtime but in no way way impede normal operations.
