via this seller: "This is a beyond special collectors items and I will probably only list it for a day or two so here goes..Cosmetically & functionally perfect. Original lunchbox not included - this has been converted to a sweet 4U rackmount unit, custom-made to Metasonix's spec (and signed by the man himself! See pic's) kept in a clean, smoke-free space.
This is completely custom and is the only one ever produced as far as I'm aware.
Would fit wonderfully in a Buchla, or Serge rig that has an extra row. Its normal 19" rackmount size (84hp) so it fits in anywhere you need it.
If you're here, you probably know what this thing sounds like. It's a beast. Nothing else does what this thing can do. Consider pairing with your modular, to drive the VCO frequency, etc. It's a blast.

Metasonix KV-100 "Brony Edition" Assblasters, this unit is N.O.S. Like other Metasonix products from years past, this one is out of production, but it's your lucky day. Here is a Mint, old stock KV-100!
From the Metasonix website....
The Metasonix KV-100 is not called the "Assblaster" for nothing. We've taken all of our knowledge of extreme vacuum-tube audio processing and combined it into a single convenient, easy-to-use package. Inevitably, the end of the TM series will cause shit-eating, ass-fisting guitar players to whine about how "underappreciated" they are. So, we're feeding them a foot-long fecal sandwich of audio penis.
It's complete with disgusting and juvenile cartoon art by Dave Lovelace, of Retarded Animal Babies fame.
The KV-100 contains the following:
--five goddamn real new-old-stock VACUUM TUBES.
--the basic preamp stage of our TM-7 Scrotum Smasher, driving:
--the waveshaping (pulser) and ring modulation functions of our TM-1, minus the ring-modulator carrier oscillator, which then drives;
--a VCO derived from our TM-3 (it is NOT intended for use as a synthesizer pitch source, only as a special effect for signal degradation), leading to;
--an all-new wide-sweeping bandpass filter, with envelope filter function plus wah capability (external pedal);
--plus an envelope follower, which also makes a gate signal;
--and a noise gate on the output, which is always active and is driven by said gate signal.
Plus relay-based true bypass for the main circuit, plus relay controlled activation of the VCO and pulser. Controllable with manual switches or external Fender-type amp footswitches.
Plus plenty of processing inputs and outputs for control voltages. No MIDI, dammit.
Only 8 knobs allow for vast ranges of distortion and effects, from subtle to flaming-enema. It's for those filthy, nutsack-sucking guitarists. Because they deserve, and love, flaming enemas.
Yes, you can plug your damn guitar into it, Yes, you can plug line-level sources into it. Yes you can run the output to a guitar amp or any mixer. Yes, all the inputs and outputs are compatible with modular synthesizers.
No, it's not sorta-kinda-like a Line 6 anything. No, it's not a tube-man version of a Digi-Tech or Boss any-damn-thing. No, for the ten-millionth time, it won't make you play like Steve Vai, ass-sucker. I'm getting really sick of feeding sarcasm to the geeks who own 40 bootleg Korn albums and read Guitar World with their lips moving. (They say things like "Dude, I bought them off a guy in the public toilet, he said they wuz real!") There's so many of them, and they are so brainless, I could type anything here and they'd never know or understand. One would think that after our TX-1 Agonizer, TX-2 Butt Probe, and TM-7 Scrotum Smasher, they would know better than to ask stupid questions. Feel free to gnaw the crust off my taint, Tiny Worm Guitar Dude. Jeff Beck is dead, and you're a fairy boy wearing pink satin panties and a matching bra. Your mother's penis is bigger than yours. And your father is a duckbill platypus. Have a nice day, scroad.
