Yes, folks, it's true: The Gristleizer is hand-built right here in Asheville, NC by Mark Boyd, the guitarist of this here band, as well as a few other fine folks. Here's the product info from the page:
For the first time ever, Throbbing Gristle's legendary effects unit, The Gristleizer, is now available in stompbox form. Though the original design is over 30 years old, The Gristleizer had never seen commercial production until the summer of 2009, when Endangered Audio updated and improved the circuit. The pedal version, housed in a high-quality, heavy-duty Hammond 1590DD box, retains all the functionality of the tabletop design with the added convenience of footswitch operation. In essense, The Gristleizer is a synth module that works with any audio signal. The audio path is modulated by an LFO using four selectable waveforms (upslope, downslope, triangle, & square), functioning in one of two paths: VCA (voltage controlled amplifier) or VCF (voltage controlled filter). Ranging from light and sweet tremolo to extreme, raunchy ring mod, The Gristleizer is a 100% analog, hand-assembled unit built to last.
Hi Friends! I see you are playing in Bloomington, IN on your tour. I live about 45 minutes north of there! If I knew more about B-town I would help out with finding a spot but I haven't hung out there that much. But you have a place to crash that night if you want! And I will definately make it down to the show, I hope it works out!!
Luke's Hymn has to be one of my favourite songs of all time. Like i know you guys didn't make up the chords or whatever, but still you put it all together etc. So thanks for that.
Thank you very much for the add! We really appreciate it. Just subscribe to our blog if you want to stay up to date. All the best. May the force be we with all of us:-)
And for all others: Just add us to your profile if you like our sound. We make real music for real people.
By the way: Our new CD is now worldwide online available as download (for example on iTunes).
hey you guys are awesome! i hope to see you live sometime!
i just wanted to suggest that you put some of your songs on your last.fm player. you could probably reach a lot more people. because a lot of people are just too lazy to follow a link to listen to stuff. i don't know whatever...
thanks for such a prime top friends spot. i've been trying to keep the tunes fresh.
also, i just remembered that my sister will be living in new york city this summer if you guys need a place to stay up there i'm sure she'd be happy to host you.
