"Both units are preowned. Both units are in incredible condition. Each comes with the original PSU.

In a world where fury once ruled their independent hearts, T1 and D-2000 have forged an electrifying bond that transcends their explosive tempers. Once two of the angriest souls around, they discovered that beneath the surface of their rage lay a profound connection. Together, they channel their frustrations into a unique form of expressive tube warmth—Their voices resonate with a powerful mix of raw energy, screaming passion, and valve-charged melodic noise. In their whirlwind of emotions, they’ve found happiness not in calming the storm alone, but in celebrating it together.

The Metasonix T1

is incredibly rare. With only ten ever made, this unit is number 2.

From the Metasonix T1 owner's manual:

The T1 is our FLAGSHIP instrument! Our best/worst! It is an intentionally primitive device, using late 1950s technology for the entire signal path. Do not expect it to sound or behave like a Moooooog! Do not expect it to sound or behave like a copycat machine trying to sound like a Mooooooooooooooog! Do not furiously twist the knobs in search of the 1980s DX7 tone. F*** you and f*** the 1980s! Oh, and PS: there are no presets!

Metasonix - D-2000

WARNING: this is an extremely abnormal product . If you purchased it expecting to get 'TR606-like' or 'vintage-like' drum sounds, you will be sorely disappointed. WARNING: The D-2000 is NOT a 'Linndrum' or a 'TR606 simulation' or a sample playback device! Do not expect it to sound or behave like a classic drum machine or a real drummer! Do not expect it to sound or behave like a machine trying to sound like a drummer! It is ABNORMAL. It does NOT behave like other music products. Also, please do not power it up, experiment for a few minutes, and then quickly contact us, claiming it is 'broken' or 'bad'. Each new D-2000 was tested at the factory very carefully. Many of our past products were often returned with a warranty claim that they were 'broken'. And most such 'broken' units turned out to be working perfectly. We will publicly mock anyone who returns a working D-2000 claiming it is 'broken'. The D-2000 contains five drum 'voices', which use vacuum tubes, plus a monophonic mixer also using a tube. Pushbuttons are provided to trigger each of the drum sounds. The mixer also has a CV input that can be used to completely mute the output if desired. At the far right of the panel is an 8hp space for a Eurorack synthesizer module."
