On the Nature of Tubelight: Sequential Prophet 5 + Metasonix R-52 Vacuum-Tube VCA/Distortion

video upload by MIKROPUSE

"Once nothing special sounding Sequential Prophet 5 chord progression now 'tubified' by an absolutely best-in-class Metasonix R-52 Vacuum-Tube VCA/Distortion (a Zerosum Intertia Edition 5U module), straight into a Mytek 192/8 AD Converter. No other preamps were used.
Few distortion devices come near Metasonix R-52 when it comes to preserving dynamic subtleties of source material. What's more, the natural compression that occurs helps a great deal, so the tracks require a little to no EQ during mixing. It does require a bit of tuning in, just to get the sound right where you want it to be."

"A Gibson Trini Lopez electric guitar and a Scrotum Lab Orgone Accumulator (Frac) going into a lovely, and ever so slightly distorting Zerosum Intertia Edition Metasonix R 52 filter (5U) via Thermionic Culture Rooster 2 preamp (in the background). Not pretty - pretty."
