The TM-2 consists of two twin-t bandpass filters in parallel. Unlike any other such filter on the market, these filters use vacuum-tube pentodes. NO semiconductors. NO transistors. Thus, NONE of that thin, scratchy, transistory sound.
These two filters have their resonant frequencies spaced 2 octaves apart–one filters the all-important midrange, the other filters bass. They are voltage-control-tuned with a custom-made “Vactrol” type matched-pair dual optocoupler. The resulting sound is GIGANTIC.
Resonance or “sharpness” for the filters is adjustable. The filter outputs pass through an additional pentode which may be used as a VCA for electronic-music effects. (TM-2 may be used purely as a tube VCA by turning down the filter resonance.) Output signal is buffered, so it can drive any line-level input.
Use it as a stand-alone effects box, or mount it in your analog modular synth using our TM-M or TM-D kits. All our TM modules integrate perfectly with other synthesizer modules.

This is one of the early original handmade TM2’s number 47.Unfortunately no longer working.
It’s been in a cupboard in my studio for 6 years plugged it in to test it before listing it on ebay, only to find it no longer works.So is being sold as spares or repair.
It should be an easy fix as it has not sustained any physical damage and is 100% analogue.
Current selling price new 768 so a bargain for someone.
Comes with the original box, packaging, Manual and no power adapter.
Kept/Used in a non smoking pet free environment.
Will be sent securely Packaged 2nd class Royal Mail Signed for, free of charge in the U.K, after payment has been made.
Thanks for looking
