Maestro Rhythm King MRK-2 Overdrive though some crackle may developServiced and working well. Love the sound of these Maestros. Virtually identical to the MRK 1 machine used by Sly and the Family Stone on Theres A Riot Going On and many more artists besides (Beck loves his). The MRK 2 has the added "Balance" control (basically a tone control that increases decreases the cymbal sounds), plus the "Paso Doble" rhythm is replaced by "Swing 2". Here's a handy picture of a 1 and 2 side by side on our Instagram feed.
