The instrument
In 1974, Farfisa launched the Transivox series, which had an onboard tone generator which included vibrato, sustain and wah-wah effects. The instrument works on the basis of transistors, like the earliest model TD 50 Transicord from 1962. The Transivox is used together with the ATX power supply 311116-E.
