Feed it a signal and it tracks the bass already there, synthesizes a clean tone one full octave below, and blends it back in, rebuilding the deep 25 to 50Hz octave that vinyl, tape and small speakers throw away. Two controls, wood-panelled 70s charm, and a low end you feel in your chest. A cult favourite in dub, disco and club sound systems, and a secret weapon for fattening drum machines and synth bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES \u0026amp; PROS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReal Subharmonic Synthesis:\u003c\/strong\u003e generates a tracked octave-down tone, not just an EQ boost.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFills the Bottom Octave:\u003c\/strong\u003e rebuilds the deep lows that recordings and small systems lose.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Simple Controls:\u003c\/strong\u003e subharmonic level and a contoured low-frequency boost, set by ear in seconds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll-Analog, Made in USA:\u003c\/strong\u003e classic late-70s dbx engineering with that wood-panel look.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTighter Than a Pedal:\u003c\/strong\u003e tracks faster and cleaner than guitar-style octave boxes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGENRE \/ USE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDub, disco and house, where synthesized sub-bass moves club PAs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFattening drum machines, 303 lines and synth bass with a tracked sub-octave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoring lost low end on vinyl and tape playback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLive and DJ low-end reinforcement that tracks tighter than an octave pedal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WORD:\u003c\/strong\u003e Audiofanzine's reviewer found the Boom Box a simple, effective way to add a rounder bottom to a track, great on bass guitar and especially promising on synth bass for extra girth. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.audiofanzine.com\/exciter-enhancer\/dbx\/100-BoomBox\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eRead the review at Audiofanzine\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: dbx Model 100 \"Boom Box\" Subharmonic Synthesizer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: late 1970s to early 1980s, made in USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: all-analog subharmonic bass synthesizer and enhancer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: synthesizes a tone one octave below the existing bass and blends it in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: subharmonic level, low-frequency boost, bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnections: RCA in and out, for tape-monitor or preamp-loop insertion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: used\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"dbx","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49819622310127,"sku":null,"price":5500.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/5992\/9071\/files\/IMG_3627.jpg?v=1781692980","url":"https:\/\/innerpieces.art\/products\/dbx-model-100-boom-box-the-cult-subharmonic-synth-that-builds-sub-bass-from-thin-air","provider":"Inner Pieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
