The new METASONIX TM-2 is a dual bandpass filter plus VCA with a difference: it has guts.
Made of VACUUM TUBES.
Not transistors, or diode ladders, or ICs, or virtual anything.
Just tubes.
The TM-2 is as real as a filter can get.
Because of its unique all-pentode tube topology, the TM-2's audio
behavior is totally strange and distinctive. Check the Metasonix website for
mp3 demos of the TM-2's effects. Like their modules, the TM-2 does
not use cheap 12AX7s--it uses only high-quality NOS pentode tubes.
The TM-2 has control-voltage inputs for filter center frequency and for VCA gain.
It is compatible with all other analog synthesizers. The VCA may be
used in an analog synth setting---if not used, it self-bypasses.
And TM-2 can be used standalone as an effects pedal.
OR it can be rackmounted, OR mounted in an MOTM modular synth,
using an optional TM-M kit.
It can even be used to make a TUBE WAH pedal, by simply
plugging an expression pedal into the filter CV jack.
