Rhodes Clav Pro

The Unmistakable Funk and Groove Machine, Reborn

Channel the sharp attack, infectious vibe, and unmistakable soul of the iconic electro-acoustic string keyboard that became the heartbeat of funk, disco, soul and rock throughout the '70s and beyond - defining classic hits from Stevie Wonder, Sly and The Family Stone, Herbie Hancock, Bill Withers, and countless others.

Introducing Rhodes Clav Pro - an endlessly playable, inspiring and authentic recreation of the legendary 1977 Clav D6 model - featuring the unmistakable bite, bounce, and percussive funk of an icon reborn, combined with Rhodes' esteemed FX suite, designed for contemporary production.

Expertly sampled by Rhodes' world-class sound designers from a rare 1977 D6 'transition' model, Clav Pro faithfully recreates the sound that powered generations of groove - its rhythmic voice still as infectious today as it was throughout music's golden era.

1977 Clav D6 'Transition'

Emerging from the zenith of funk, disco, and soul, the famed electro-acoustic string keyboard became one of the defining sounds of the 1970s, celebrated for its sharp attack, percussive feel, and unmistakable rhythmic energy which for the first time allowed keyboardists to harness the vibe and energy of rhythm and lead guitarists from its lightweight and super-responsive keyboard.

Its distinctive voice can be heard across legendary recordings throughout history, from Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition', and Herbie Hancock's 'Chameleon', to Bob Marley's 'Could You Be Loved' and Fleetwood Mac's 'You Make Loving Fun' to disco-era classics from the Bee Gees and beyond.

Recognized for its uniquely expressive playing style, the instrument delivers an immediate, tactile response unlike any other keyboard - capable of tight rhythmic stabs, gritty funk grooves, and bright, cutting melodies that effortlessly command a mix.

Decades later, its infectious character and unmistakable tone remain as inspiring and instantly recognisable as ever.

Pickups, Drive, and Wah

At the heart of Clav Pro is a 1:1 recreation of the original pickup selection controls, mute slider and EQ circuitry, delivering the unmistakable tonal combinations heard across classic funk, soul, disco, and rock recordings.

Dedicated Clav-specific Drive, Compression, and Envelope/Wah controls capture everything from tight rhythmic stabs to saturated, expressive lead tones, while added sustain pedal functionality expands the instrument beyond the limitations of the original hardware.

The dedicated Timbre Shift fader allows a vast array of different Clav characters, whilst the Mech Noise control allows precise adjustment of cabinet resonance and authentic key on/off noise, adding extra realism, texture, and unique character to every performance.
