This is a demo of the new Metasonix KV-100 AssBlaster vacuum tube processor that was shown at the Big City Music booth at the 2009 NAMM Show.The video captures a drum pattern from the Jomox XBase999 analog drum machine getting mangled.
The KV-100 contains the basic preamp stage of the discontinued Metasonix TM-7 Scrotum Smasher, driving the waveshaping (pulser) and ring modulation functions of the discontinued TM-1 (minus the ring-modulator carrier oscillator). These two sections drive a VCO which was derived from the discontinued Metasonix TM-3.
That sounds like shit. Literally. Pun kind of intended.
Yeah. It look like something I'd like to have, but I'm not paying that much for that sound…
