The Bandmaster Powerhouse was a rare drum machine from Scotland made in the 1970s that played back pre-recorded drum and percussion tracks on looping 8-track tape cartridges.

It shipped originally with eight tapes, which are digitised in 'Powerhouse Breaks Vol. 1', but Vol. 2 contains the loops from six very rare bonus tapes. These were only ever available in very limited quantities and in the case of tapes 13 and 14, only available to the US market.

The loops are preserved in their entirety (usually about a minute long). Each tape had eight loops (hence 8-track tape) and with six tapes digitised, that makes a total of 48 original 1970s drum loops, only available on this sample pack.

They're all digitised as 24-bit .WAV files @ 44.1kHz, ready for use in any DAW or software sampler.
