The ARP Avatar was a keyboardless ARP Odyssey, with the addition of a guitar interface, controllable through a special hexaphonic guitar pickup (which is working and included, but read below). The synthesizer is also controllable through the CV/Gate/Trigger interface.

The synthesizer is in good condition, with some scratches on the front edge. Please see photos. The High Pass Filter only seems to filter when the slider is maxxed out. This ARP Avatar has been serviced by Synthchaser in October 2025. Work done included:

• Synthchaser Precision slider upgrade - All 37 of the old original sliders have been replaced with new, smooth, high precision sliders (Bourns sliders). The difference in the way these sliders feel and perform compared to the originals is a huge improvement.
• Recapped all accessible polarized capacitors - including power supply and all tantalum capacitors
• 4075 Filter cutoff frequency correction
• Tuned & Calibrated Synthesizer Section (not Guitar interface, see below)

Includes an original hex pickup and a brand new cable for the guitar interface, and the guitar interface has been tested for extreme basic functionality (specifically, triggering 6 different pitches from each of the six pickups, with the pitch changing as the string pitch changes).
