Trying out the new Rhodes MK8! | built in pre-amp EFFECTS

Thanks to the folks at ‪@rhodesmusic‬ for letting me take the new MK8 for a test drive - it was fun!
The built-in preamp gives you access to a lot of really different sounds without having to plug in any extra pedals. Check it out:
00:23 envelope filter / auto-wah effect
1:38 overdrive
3:13 stereo pan / vari-pan
5:20 ring modulator effects
6:03 variable waveform
7:30 "horizontal tasting" of waveforms
8:04 equalizer settings

One of the most beautiful sounds in the world. More of this please!

[@romulus_]

easily the best sounding rhodes since the mk1 and 2. sounds right on the money and has a lot of great features. wish I was good enough to justify the purchase.

[@greenvelvet]

Wow not only is it a Rhodes, but it's a Rhodes 75 year anniversary edition. Limited run of 75. I don't know how people got their hands on one. The all black keys is KILLER

[@KaitDunton]

I got to borrow one for a little while! I don't actually own one 🤪

[@chesthairascot3743]

It's not a 75AE. Looks very similar, but 75AE has gold trim on knobs and the fx panel.

Sounds great! For home studio. Not sure I'd want to leave the Nord home and wrestle this guy into my car and schlep it to gigs.

[@jeffreyreid6981]

Yo at 12 $13,000 it would not leave my house😂

[@LWmusik]

Taking rhodes to gigs is so worth it, don't get why people whine so much about it. All you need is a handtruck, they're very cheap

[@BirdseyeVu]

I just realized, this may have been where the term “Rhode-y” came from.😂

This shows you love for music and exploration of sounds! So wonderful!

[@weschilton]

Thanks for doing this! The Mk8 is super cool!

[@anxiousproductions9183]

Great sound, great playing but I just couldn’t cope with an all black keyboard!

[@krimsonfunk]

Nice Demo !

[@kait_dunton]

Thanks!

Hi Kait, big fan. Thanks for all you do. Just wanted to touch base as I’ve had a lot of issues with mine, was curious if you’ve experienced anything similar. Was getting quite a buzz from mine, had assumed it was 60’s cycle type issue at first, but when compared side by side with my Wurlitzer, or any other instrument for that matter, the Rhodes Mk 8 seems to be the only one with this buzz issue. Also noticing sound isn’t coming out of the keyboard very well if at all at times - all the lights are on however even the headphone out isn’t producing any noise. Trying to get to the bottom of this, just figured I’d ask other owners since there aren’t too many.

[@virgilmihailescu2575]

Beautiful sound, Kait! Emerson would have been proud of you. Let’s see (hear) the “beast” at work! New songs coming?

[@andytupaia]

Hey thanks for the demonstration

I'm a guitar player...couldn't get by without my BBE Ben Wah pedal!

The new Rhodes MK8 will be more stable too. Not like the older Rhodes breaking down. I worked for a music booking agency that had to supply each band we booker for with two Rhodes because at least one of them would be broken every time.

[@mechasartre3694]

Never broken a single piece on a Rhodes personally and I abuse my current mk2.

[@kgamaseg]

Nice!

[@theturtleproject]

i want one

[@gotmoresoul]

Wowowowowow...

[@joelj7279]

Is that the 75th anniversary edition?

[@nakiahlee7984]

Do this require an amp for the sound to be heard?

[@onlimi616]

Why would someone want all black keys?

[@Danilo8208SS]

It looks cool

[@maxalaintwo3578]

@@Danilo8208SSall fun and games till you can’t discern your keys at all on a dimly lit stage 😂

[@matthewcreelman2736]

How Much was it?
