So how hard are these to find?
P.S. This is my first post, I've been watching this forum for awhile, so if you would please...
Save your cunt fuck remark, I'm into metasonix and I'm after something in particular, something that can not be offered by anyone else. I know there were only a few number made, and first and foremost... I know the owner is an unruly cunt. But a fucking great cunt at that. So instead of hazing me and giving me all the bs you would of some spambot or some douchebag NIN loving homo, give me a real response, and some real respect.
Thank-you all, in advance...

There were 100 made, Big City Music bought the last of them, they should be the first people you contact if your actually trying to buy one.
Don't expect it to be cheap if you can even find one at all! _________________ |zerosuminertia.com| |

I notice they are the guys who buy the last of the metasonix shit usually, they do it to make a killer profit or what? Because I know it's just not to make a masked 'youtube', video...
I'm all about a small business trying to do their thing, at the same time I don't want to be 'had', because they're luring wankars...
Let me know ladies...If you will. |

They do it because they know how to sell it. They have been a Metasonix dealer longer than any of the others..
The equation is simple: If you don't like it then don't buy it. _________________ |zerosuminertia.com| |

How often have you guys seen these things get exchanged on this forum?
What's the going rate in that case? |

Not often. They are usually only sold when the owner is in a bad situation. The price won't be much lower than the BCM price. It needs to be worth the pain of parting. |

Any particular reason why you want a TX-2 specifically? Why not just build a Metasonix euro system or get an S-1000? I realize that the two solutions I listed may not be the same as a TX-2, but they are still Metasonix and are far more attainable. _________________ Heavy Lids |

| All i can go off of is youtube, I've been through most of metasonix unit test-runs by different users. I choose the tx-2 specifically because it's distinctly the sound I'm looking for. On top of that I use pedals, not boards or racks of any kind. If I were to go any other direction it would most likely be the kv-1000 but even then it isn't really what I'm looking for. |

People can stop e-mailing and asking for these now.
They are gone, no more, zippo... The only place you will find them(new) is BigCityMusic because they bought the last of them, That is why they can charge whatever they want for them, because they have the last of them.
Are you getting the picture yet???
No, there aren't any stashed away in some box somewhere,
No, No one loves you enough to handwire one without a PCB and stuff it in a "custom box" just for you.
No, they aren't going to get any cheaper, only a fool would sell one for less than what they currently go for Unless they like selling a dollar for fifty cents...
Buy one used or buy a NOS box from BCM, or just learn how to engineer a sound that is similar..... _________________ |zerosuminertia.com| |

I wouldn't part with mine even if you offered me a lot more than Big City Music is asking.....
sorry.
It's worth it, I would suggest grabbing the one from BCM. _________________ "I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down." |

These have been sold over and over again enough times until they either made it into the garbage or into the hands of someone who won't part with them. BCM is the place to get them. If you weren't going through them you wouldn't get a better deal anyways. All I can recommend is save up your money or check out the R series. _________________ "Well, if you were never born, it wouldn't be your fucking birthday." - droolmaster0 aka Nelson Baboon |

Anyone wanna volunteer for a good demo of one in use? Not just the sonic destruction aspect, but the various shades (of Hades?) as well. All of the web demo either sound like shit (recording process) or cover the awesome destruction of the device. I've no idea what the various pots sound like when manipulated...
