"From Metasonix:

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."
