Square Wave Machine Inside Marsona
Completed: January 2011 (Modified: May 2012)
Last Known Location: St. Louis, MO
Built inside the shell of a Marsona 1200A vintage soothing sound machine is a not-so-soothing noise device. This was later rebuilt in May of 2012. The updated circuit is based on the Auto-Step Synthesizer. It has controls for LFO speed, frequency, and pulse length, as well as filter and volume.
With a nice loud built-in speaker, it requires no additional amplification or equipment to use, although there is a 1/4" output jack that will cut out the internal speaker and allow it to be used with effects, amps, or recording equipment.
The rebuild also gave it the ability to run completely untethered on a 9-volt battery or an optional 9-volt center negative DC adapter.
