Highly powerful in sound and streamlined in design, the OTO Machines BOUM Analog Stereo Warming Unit is something truly unique. With a trio of advanced effects underneath its hood, the BOUM makes a name for itself in all its bold, geometric glory.
BOUM equips players with three distinct effects that generate a signal-enhancing sum. Inside BOUM is a compressor, distortion generator, and low-pass filter. Working together, these effects work some real magic. Your first effect in the circuit, the compressor, is controlled via a single dial to control the three essential parameters of a compressor – threshold, ratio, and makeup gain. This compressor can be reeled in for very subtle compression or maxed out for a deeply compressed voicing. The next effect, the distortion generator, opens the field up for four distortion circuits to run wild. The distortion circuits include a soft clipping boost, an asymmetrical tube overdrive, a hard clipping fuzz, and a square wave generator. Any way you come at BOUM, there is something rich and colorful to uncover.
OTO Machines includes a number of quality features to BOUM to enhance the experience including an internal noise gate, MIDI connection, and 36 possible user presets. Wholly, this is a signal-warming unit unlike any other.
