NAMM 2008 - Big City Music - Metasonix F@#%ing F@#%er amp!

"Here is the new guitar amp from Eric Barbour, the fiendish designer from Metasonix. His designs always raise some eyebrows, but this is the first name which we had to edit."

  1. so when do we get a sound sample on this?

    dying to hear it,

    btw for my waning tube fetish I have a 9 tube 2 channel TraceElliot preamp and a 9 tube Peavey stereo power amp for my guitar , and if I put some Metasonix TM or TX series pedals in series in the signal chain I can push it beyond 23 tubes but somehow I'd like to know how this thing sounds and know whether it is a merely a re-configured wretch with 2 channels of audio input and no oscillators or something really different

    gotta give Eric a lot of credit though, he sure isn't shy about working out his hot buttons with the vacuum audio industry, this thing flies in the face of every piece of hype/rhetoric put out by the boutique amp industry....way to go

  2. Fuck is pretty much common in the US so it's not that. It's the porn ads and the adult filtering that can happen. I was in the airport in Chicago once and there was an internet terminal in one of the shops. I thought I'd check out Matrixsynth and it was blocked due to adult content apparently because of my fucketybuckety post on Ken MacBeth's music project. Thank you Ken! :) So, yeah, if you don't want your site to be banned in such places, or you don't want the porn ads, you have to watch what you put up. Personally I don't like to change the titles others come up with, so in this case I left it as is.

  3. hmm, easier to sell guns than to talk ehm, bad.

    cool concept. ;)

    where is it filtered? and for what reason (just curious how they explain it,-- ehm the children?)

    hope I do not sound bad a** here, just want to learn first hand. I did not expect such things since you can buy weapons etc. which may have a stronger "impact"..

  4. I think you misunderstand Moogulator. Think of it like the movies. There's rated X, R, PG-13, PG and G here. G means the movie is safe for the little kids (maybe 6 or 7 and under), PG for kids 12 and under, PG-13 for 13 and up, R for 17 and up. So, if you want to protect your kids from the stuff on the web you can set up parental controls which will effectively limit access to the G rating. It's not 100% but they basically index the web and blacklist sites that have terms they rate as not safe for kids like fucker. It's the same in many countries including Germany.

  5. Moogulator, I am curious. In Germany can I surf for porn on public computers?
