🙋🏻‍♂️ Welcome to SynthFreak! Hey and thank you for visiting my shop and for your interest in this synthesizer! Every instrument in my shop comes from my private collection and is treated with the highest level of care. My mission is simple: you receive a vintage instrument that performs flawlessly, not a "fixer-upper." Before any item is listed, it undergoes a rigorous, multi-stage inspection by our technician. I know my prices reflect a premium compared to "as-is" listings, but this is a deliberate choice. When you buy from me, you are investing in a fully verified, professionally serviced, and risk-free collector’s item that is ready for the studio the moment you plug it in. You avoid the hidden repair bills and frustration that often accompany cheaper, unverified gear. 💎 Why You Invest in Quality My pricing directly reflects the extensive time, technical expertise, and premium materials required to deliver an investment-grade instrument. Here is exactly what is included in your purchase: 🛡️ Double Technical Verification: Every instrument undergoes a comprehensive checkup before being listed. To guarantee perfection, the entire unit is tested again right before it is packed. Any component replacement, calibration, or display upgrade is handled by specialists so you receive a turn-key, flawless instrument. 📦 Premium Custom Packaging: Vintage electronics are fragile and irreplaceable. To ensure 100% safety during international transit, we do not use standard shipping methods. We spend hours custom-building heavy-duty, multi-layered packaging or bespoke wooden crates. This professional-grade preparation guarantees that your investment arrives in the exact condition described. 🚀 Worldwide Fastest FREE Shipping: I believe in delivering excellence to your doorstep without extra costs. Every purchase includes expedited, fully insured worldwide shipping at no additional charge, ensuring your instrument arrives as quickly and safely as possible. ⚡ Power & Global Connectivity: My instruments are configured for EU 230V. If requested, I can perform a free internal voltage conversion where technically possible. If not, I recommend a high-quality external step-up transformer (approx. $50). This is the preferred, risk-free solution for 90% of my international customers, allowing you to power multiple EU-spec devices simultaneously without compromise. 📑 Customs & Import Optimization: International shipping often brings unexpected financial burdens. Our dedicated logistics team reviews each shipment individually to prepare customs declarations strategically. This compliant, professional approach helps minimize or entirely avoid unnecessary import fees and taxes for you. ✅ Transparency & Peace of Mind: I document the entire process and prioritize full professional transparency. You avoid the hidden risks, dirty interiors, and immediate repair costs that often come with cheaper 'as-is' listings from private sellers. Enjoy reading the description. 🎹 Information about the Item for Sale I am offering an absolute masterpiece of electronic music history: the PPG Wave 2.2. Designed by Wolfgang Palm in the early 1980s, this instrument defined the sound of an entire decade, fueling hits by artists like Depeche Mode, Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Tears for Fears. It is the ultimate fusion of early digital wavetable grit and gorgeous, warm analog filtering. This specific PPG Wave 2.2 has been extensively and meticulously prepared for its next owner to ensure maximum reliability and a pristine playing experience: Complete Keyboard Overhaul: The original keybed has been completely refurbished. New bushings, cleaned contacts, and precision leveling mean it plays beautifully, evenly, and exactly as it should. Extensive Recapping: To protect this valuable instrument for the future, numerous electrolytic capacitors (Elkos) across the power supply and voice boards have been replaced with high-quality, modern components. Rock-Solid OS 8.3 Upgrade: The system runs on the highly stable and desired OS 8.3 firmware, ensuring optimized MIDI handling, better system stability, and smooth operation. Technically, this PPG Wave 2.2 is in absolute top-tier condition. All 8 voices tune perfectly, the SSM 2044 analog filters sweep beautifully, and the unique digital waveforms sound incredibly crisp and deep. Optically, it looks fantastic with its iconic blue chassis showing only minor, honest signs of wear consistent with a well-cared-for vintage synth of this age. Please note: This listing includes the PPG Wave 2.2 and the power cable. ⚙️ Specifications Type: Legendary Vintage Polyphonic Hybrid Wavetable Synthesizer Manufacturer: PPG (Palm Products GmbH) Model: Wave 2.2 Era: Early 1980s (approx. 1982–1984) Keyboard: 61 keys (Completely overhauled, new bushings, perfectly serviced) System Version: Firmware OS 8.3 (Latest/most stable system) Sound Generation: 2 Digital Oscillators per voice with access to nearly 2,000 wavetable variations Filters: Real analog SSM 2044 24dB/octave low-pass resonant filters Polyphony: 8 Voices Sequencer: Integrated 8-track digital event sequencer Connectivity: MIDI In/Out/Thru, Stereo/Mono Audio Outputs, CV/Gate capabilities Sound Character: Unmistakable PPG character—cutting, atmospheric, digital wavetable textures running through creamy, powerful analog filters As I am based in Germany—the birthplace of the Wave—the buyer will also get direct access to my local network of top-tier vintage technicians if support is ever needed in the future. 📦 Secure Packaging & Custom Wooden Crate The instrument is professionally and extensively packed to guarantee a 100% safe international transit.
