Oberheim Obx 1979
Oberheim Obx monster analog synth with 8 voices has become a rare and very desired synth, it was produced and released in the summer of 1979 for about a year which makes it a very rare synth to find.
This synth has a very unique sem base sound that makes it very cool and fat aggressive lush sounding synth, the obx a and ob8 have their own sound but not as nice sounding as the obx but with major upgrades.
Oberheim obx had a few versions, rev 1 is with obx on front panel, rev 2 had the Oberheim on front panel and obx on the top panel, rev one is more rare to find, another thing to mention is the l.e.d light on the cards from the rev 2 or 3 but the original rev 1 had no l.e.d lights.
