"Moody Electronics Baby Box
Boutique, handbuilt ambient drone synthesizer

The Moody Sounds Baby Box is a fun toy for those looking for mad sounds in the jungle of noise! Make a bizarre distortion of reality with this machine! Use it with guitar or let it make sounds on its own!

Baby Box has three modes of action: Auto, Constant and Trig. In the Auto and Constant modes, it generates noise. And you control parameters like noise pitch and tempo, delay interval and length, with its 10 control knobs.

The noise originates from oscillators in the Baby Box circuit. The signals from them are superimposed and a "noise" is produced. One of the oscillators has much lower frequency of oscillation than the others. It gives a "beat" to the noise and the tempo is controlled with the Sun-knob, up to the left - set it near max for rave-floor like sound, and near minimum position for bomb raid alarm kind of noise!

In the Trig mode it is possible for other sound generating devices, such as a guitar, to "talk" to the Baby Box - a line in signal sets off the sounds of the box. The big knob, Pluto, adjusts the mix between clean and noise. Turned all the way to the left, a clean unaffected signal comes out on the line out. As it is turned up, a classic guitar fuzz blends in. The trigging of the noise oscillators begins when Pluto is near maximum.

The noise oscillators are connected to a delay circuit, which puts some "depth" to the sound. The delay has two controls: number of repeats and time between repeats (Neptune and Uranus).

Baby Box is furnished with stereo output. The signal is split up in two in the delay circuit, and different sounds are produced in the two output channels. Plug in stereo headphones directly to the output and have great fun!

This is a very moody pedal. If you want a decently behaving effect, maybe something else is better?! We have added a true bypass foot switch to it. This is if you quickly want to bypass the odd sounds and get back to normal again!"

"This is an as-is auction. The item will arrived as described. I will not accept returns for this item. Only purchase this item if you are willing to accept my terms and conditions. If you have buyer's remorse, it is not my responsibility to return or exchange the item. Only buy this item if you are sure you want it and you understand what it does. Thanks.

For Sale: A Moody Sounds Baby Box noise / drone synth. These don't come around the states very often -- and when they do, it's usually a retail store or a private seller asking for an arm and a leg. This was built by Moody Sounds, engraved with a production number.

Great chance to own a truly unique synth.

Condition: Very minor cosmetic wear, but I would consider this mint. There are various imperfections that come with a handmade device, so expect finish flaws, etc.

Function: This hand-made noise / drone synth works 100 percent as it should. I will admit, it's functions are a bit alien at first, but you'll get the hang of it eventually.

Notes: You are bidding on the Baby Box only. This unit runs off a minimum of (-) 9 volts (Boss style or One spot adapter will work.)"
