TS-22 Pentode filterbank
The Metasonix TS-22 Pentode Filterbank is a truly unique and captivating piece of gear for the adventurous guitarist. Housed in a sturdy rackmount chassis, this filter-based effects unit is a far cry from your typical stompbox - it's a veritable playground of sonic exploration. At its heart, the TS-22 employs a bank of five band-pass filters, each with its own personality and character. These filters are driven by pentode vacuum tubes, giving the sound a wonderfully organic, almost living quality. As you twist the knobs, the filters come alive, morphing and undulating in ways that inspire pure creativity. But the TS-22 is no mere tone-shaping tool - it's a true instrument in its own right. The interplay between the filters, the tube saturation, and the dynamic response to your playing creates a captivating and ever-evolving sonic landscape. Guitarists seeking to expand their tonal palette will find endless inspiration in the TS-22, whether sculpting lush pads, sculpting aggressive snarls, or crafting entirely new and unexpected sounds. While the TS-22 may not be a household name, it has found its way into the rigs of sonic visionaries like Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who have harnessed its unique character to devastating effect. If you're ready to venture beyond the ordinary and discover new realms of guitar tone, the Metasonix TS-22 Pentode Filterbank is a must-try.
