About Equipment

Back in 1977, Scottish company GR International Ltd, which was owned by two brothers who both happened to be musicians, designed and manufactured a rhythm machine called the Powerhouse. The company, who also manufactured cassette recorders for hi–fi music centres, designed the Powerhouse to take eight–track cartridges loaded with drum loops, apparently performed by a top session drummer. The loops could then be subjected to a degree of processing using the Powerhouse’s controls, which included a tempo control and a balance knob for mixing two related rhythms.
