Jomox M-Resonator Samples

Title link takes you to the samples via Brian Comnes:

"Here are some Jomox M-Resonator MP3 samples I made. Three from KORG EA-1 presets (No booing please) and two from my x0xb0x. If I had more time I would have made them a little better, but they are what they are. All 5 start out 100% dry and then the M-Resonator bypass is turned off becoming 100% wet.

I really like this effect pedal overall, it is much more subtle than say a Metasonix sledge hammer. I am using it in a send/return loop in my main rig so it never gets beyond 50% wet and given the way it works having some original signal in the mix is probably a good idea. You can hear on the samples that while twiddling you can easily filter out the whole signal so it is better as a send effect for that reason. It really does fatten up drum synths in a great way. I couldn't recreate a sound I had last night, but it will definitely generate bass artifacts that will pop your sub voice coils if they are wimpy. WHUMP!!

This thing is very sensitive, little movements have a BIG impact not always positive. It is really easy to find pure trash, or pure whistling resonance, it even clucks like a chicken in places, but there are a lot of sweet spots on the boundaries , the trick is finding therm again after you have moved another knob. Take a look at the signal flow in the screen shot I took from the manual, and you can see it takes a while to get your head around what is going to happen next.

The only real bitch I have is that the paint is dark blue and the lettering is black so it IMPOSSIBLE to read the knobs except under bright lights.. I work with a black and white printout cut from the manual. Someday I'll just have it memorized.

Enjoy

Peace

Brian"
