via this auction:"You are looking at a new TYPE-U73 synthesizer hand wired (in limited quantities) by MONOTONIC LABS with a 90 day factory warranty for parts and labor. Please read everything and ask all questions before buying.
The U73 is a new tool for experimental sound synthesis. The output is line level quarter inch mono, and all of the sound parameters are controlled through 2 knobs. The U73 does not have an input. Each knob effects the sound in multiple ways and has various results depending on where the other knob is positioned. The Type-U73 synthesizer creates low frequency sweeps, areggiated stepped tones, feedback, thermin effects, as well as many other indescribable noises. You'll be amazed at the surprising number of sounds capable from only 2 knobs! Feed it to other effects and stomp boxes and the possibilities grow exponentially. Usually with delay and (insert your favorite effect here) you can't go wrong. A must for any experimental musician! Great for adding interesting background noises or transitions between songs live or in the studio.

smells like one of those 555-timer based weevil/thingamagoop/atari punk console sort of dealies that are popping up all over these days muhuhahaha
ReplyDeleteSounds like noise to me.
ReplyDeleteLook at at me ma! I can make me some bleeps and bloops!!
I hear that with these vintage 555 units, you can swap in/out different vintage capacitors to tailor the sounds ;)
ReplyDeletethis thing is a vulgar Atari Punk console.
ReplyDeleteSchematics to build this things are EVERYWHERE.
I'm building 10 and I'm going to make some fancy enclosures and I'm going to make a bunch o' cash.
As I have one I can speak from experience.
ReplyDeleteI've married mine with a MXR Phase 90, OS2 Distortion and a DD-3. This little beast is capable of making some seriously BIG noise and if you find that sweet spot you can get some really fun rhythms out of too.
The knobs are super sensitive (careful with that axe eugene). A little tweak goes a long way. It's capable of everything from rumbling sub freqs to ear piercing highs. A wicked lil' tweak box for sure.
Btw... Mine is a beige one from earlier this year. Very well built, and in a nice sturdy case. Plus I only paid $99US for it. A steal as far as I'm concerned.
