"ASHEVILLE, NC APRIL 27, 2009รณ Smashing Guitars has announced the release of the first of their new product line, the Gristleizer. The flagship of the newly formed Endangered Audio (a subsidiary of Smashing Guitars), the Gristleizer is an extremely rare and unique unit. Originally designed by Roy Gwinn in 1976, the Gristleizer is based on a design published in Practical Electronics and sold in kit form by Phonosonics. Chris Carter of the British industrial music and visual arts group Throbbing Gristle modified the kit in 1977, unleashing what is known as the Gristleizer. Lost to time, the unit has been re-designed and produced by Smashing Guitars Owner/Engineer Todd Kelley, with assistance from Charlie Howes. After months of research and consultation with Gwinn and Carter, the audio path has been kept original-- "we've taken what people love about the sounds of the original Gristleizer, and given them much more" says Kelley. The Gristleizer had its initial release at the sold out Throbbing Gristle performance at Logan Square Auditorium in Chicago on April 25, 2009, one of their first performances in the USA in 28 years."

Buchla 285e Frequency Shifter / Balanced Modulator

"A frequency shifter is not a pitch shifter, it shifts each harmonics of a sound by a frequency separately up and down.
With the rarely available external reference input one can shift each harmonic by each harmonic frequency in the reference frequency (which itself is not heard directly).
The unit has two separate built in voltage controlled reference sine wave oscillators, one each for the frequency shifter and balanced modulator sections.

One also has the option of using any external wave for both sections carrier and modulator bypassing the internal oscillator. I'm pretty sure the 285e is the only frequency shifter module currently in production that can frequency shift the input wave with another input wave. The only other module I know of that did this was the (as far as I know) no longer produced Serge External Carrier Frequency Shifter, one of their most expensive "modules".
Firmware version 30.2 (current). Includes mounting screws.

Manufacturer Description:
The top section of the dual-function 285e performs frequency shifting; up and down outputs are simultaneously available. The reference frequency can be externally applied or internally generated; the latter can be voltage-controlled and modulated using FM.

The bottom section is independent, and functions as a balanced modulator of the applied signals. The degree of modulation is voltage-controlled, and the reference frequency can be internally generated or externally applied, as with the frequency shifter. A separate audio output is dedicated to classic ring modulation, a subset of balanced modulation.
All settings of the 285e can be stored and recalled as part of a preset using the 225e or the 206e Preset Manager"
