  2. They were around $750 brand new. Because they are so rare the price has gone up a little. I think it was a very fair price. But yes, I do smoke some very serious shit thank you very much!

    Anyways, I'm glad mine is going to the Doktor.

  3. In early 2000 dollars, I thought it listed for 749 + taxes of course.

    $749 in 2000 dollars would be $876.98 in 2006 dollars today using the consumer price index.


    So that would be around $890 in today's 2007 dollars I figure.

    There was some other killer rack mount stuff Eric did that certainly cost more.

    I also am looking for the TS-22 filter, if anyone cares to sell it to me.

  5. There was the TS-21 Hellfire Modulator, TS-22 Pentode Filterbank, and the TS-23 Dual Thyratron VCO.

    Collect all three and you have one hell of a wretch machine!

  6. I too remember there was a savagely expensive box (I'm imagining more than 1500 bucks) that was an ultra limited edition.

    Anyone remember what it was?

  13. Basic circuit from TS-21 used in TM-1 I hear.

  14. Ok, thanks this is what I thought. Let us know how it performs. Do you have a TM-1 to compare with?

  15. This will be my first Metasonix gear!

    I am going to take this Hellfire Modulator and use it to sodomize my vast imagination.

  16. of course some info can be found using the Wayback Machine!:

    if I recall(i didn't check all the saved versions) the TS-22 and TS-23 were about $1199 new.
    The TS-21 and TM-1 are close-- the TS stuff is much better quality in general- all point to point wiring. The TS-21 has a stereo out, the TM-1 had a deluxe ltd version with that also. The TM-1 adds ring mod also. I have both but haven't compared them recently. BTW: a great co. to deal with also!

  17. All Metasonix stuff have point-to-point wiring not just the TS series.
    Anyway, if you don't need the TS let me know I will buy it. I have all TX and TM (and S-1000) series .....
