Description
The Synthchaser Precision Slider Kit will breathe new life into your ARP Avatar synthesizer. This pre-assembled kit replaces all 37 of your old sliders with new, smooth, high precision sliders. The difference in the way these sliders feel and perform compared to the originals is a huge improvement. The values and taper types of the faders are the same as the originals. Sliders are on just a few assemblies, so it is easy to ensure that all of the sliders are parallel. Plus, the assemblies come pre-assembled, saving massive amounts of time and headache over fiddly DIY options.
The slider shafts fit the soft Mk I & Mk II ARP Odyssey-style slider caps (some may require some non-permanent adhesive to help stay on the shaft), but do not fit the hard plastic caps typically found on the Avatar. For this reason, I recommend the Synthchaser Precision LED slider kit, with our corresponding slider caps. When not connected to power, the look of that is close to original. While you’re working on your Avatar, also consider our recap kit available from our store. Please feel free to contact us with any questions regarding this upgrade for your ARP Avatar!
ARP Avatars should have the later revision Board B (B-II) from the ARP Odyssey, but there is a difference in the slider tapers used for the Pulse Width Modulation between revisions of Board B. We will ship with 100K Audio PWM sliders (as used in board B-II) unless you include a note requesting 100K Linear sliders (as used in the ARP Odyssey Board B-I) in the notes of your order at the time you place your order. This cannot be changed once your order is placed. Your synthesizer will still work if you wind up with the wrong PWM slider taper, so don’t freak out about it. Installation of this kit requires disassembly of your synthesizer and soldering. If you’re not comfortable doing this, we offer this upgrade with installation services, please check our store for pricing on the installed upgrade.
