Keyboard Setup Based on Vintage RMI 300B “Electra-Piano”
Remember me saying that Tom, the guy who sold me the Pax tape echo chamber is pretty cool? Well … periodically he texts me links to good local deals on second-hand gear. He seems to know exactly what kind of equipment I’m interested in, and he has a real nose for good deals. I have added him to my contact list as “Tommy Tape Echo”.
A little over a month ago, he tipped me off to this really cool vintage keyboard from RMI (“Rocky Mount Instruments”). I picked it up from a guy in Oakville that day for a couple hundred bucks. Then, a few weeks later, when I finally got together with my experimental jam band, I put together a setup that looked like this (click the image to enlarge):
Korg MS-20 (Kit), Arturia Microbrute, Mackie 402 Mixer, EHX Small Clone Phase Shifter, Boss RE-20 Space Echo Pedal. All supported by the monstrous RMI 300B "Electra Piano"
