Gong Amp
2022
Description
Handmade Gong Amp inspired by the Métallique resonator on the ondes martenot.
The integrated power amplifier takes line level signals and amplifies them into an audio exciter attached to the tam tam which turns it into a speaker, creating ghostly resonances and metallic timbres.
Works particularly well with glissando-ing synths and pitchbends, sounds great with guitar, (creating loads of sustain) and works really well with drum machines and percussion. You could also throw Motown samples at it.
