Metasonix F'cking F'cker amp(2) - NAMM 2008 - Big City Music



YouTube via bigcitymusic
"Here's a video clip we just discovered on our MacBook from NAMM 2008. It shows the prototype Metasonix G-1000, better known as the Fucking Fucker amp being demo'ed at the Big City Music booth with a Future Retro XS synthesizer running into it. Ripping good sound, huh? The amp is really meant to be used as a guitar amp but - well gee, what the heck.

MONOTONIC LABS LR55 Analog Synth Effects

via this auction
"The Type-LR55 Synthesizer contains a 4-step sequencer and a voltage controlled oscillator. The sequencer can be triggered by internal or external clock sources. The format for external clock sources is an analog metronome or “click” signal; however other signals (like electric guitars) can be used to cause crazy effects.The internal clock is manually controlled with a potentiometer with speeds ranging from the very, very slow, to the extremely fast. The voltage controlled oscillator is similar to the Type U73 synthesizer which can be frequency and pulse width modulated. A unique feature of this circuit is the “stepped tones” that are created when the pulse width exceeds the period of the output allowing the user to play several “notes” with minimal manipulation. We offer a one year factory warranty for parts and labor and will ship world wide. The unit is powered by a 9 volt battery (included) which has a very extensive operating life."

ROLAND MSQ 700


images via this auction

"It runs off a Roland 2-prong power cable which is not included in the auction (but these are easy to get). In 1984 Roland released an 8-track MIDI sequencer called the MSQ-700. Weighing in at 11 lbs it looked like half of a TR909. The MSQ-700 is an 8-track sequencer that holds up to 6,500 notes that can be stored on one of the 8 tracks. Several functions of the MSQ-700 include a chain function, multi-track function, overdubbing and a merge function. The MSQ700 is a very reliable and robust design which will survive for decades. It is based around a Z80 micro-processor. There are 2 circuit boards, one is mounted to the front panel and contains the controls, the other is mounted to the base plate and is the main digital board. Use it to control your TR-909 or JUNO keyboard. The MSQ-700 is compatible with both MIDI and Roland's proprietary DCB sync methods. Today the MSQ-700 is a very useful sequencer for storing 8 short sequencer loops, with all the advantages of hardware control. Lots of knobs and switches! Its immediacy makes it a creative tool."
