Gong Amp takes an exciting experimental amplifier from the beginnings of electronic music to the plugin world of today.

In 1932, Maurice Martenot was looking for a way to make his groundbreaking proto-synthesizer -Ondes- audible beyond what could be archived with the horns and loudspeakers of the time. He developed a set of -diffuseurs-, of which the -M©tallique- was one. Instead of a paper cone or horn, Martenot put a gong behind the amplifier circuitry. This seemingly simple idea resulted in resonances and brilliant overtones that excite audiences to this day.

In 2011, the French company Eowave took inspiration from Martenot-s invention and made their own version, the Resonator Metallik. When we heard what our friend, Berlin composer Hainbach, did with this rare and discontinued amplifier, we knew this sound needed to be available to more than a select few. So we made Gong Amp, our third collaboration with Hainbach since Motors and Wires.

Using a complex mixture of convolution processing, physical modeling, and feedback systems, we created an instrument that is true to the responsiveness of the original and even transcends it in terms of sound design possibilities.

The Metallik Resonator
Eowave built their fantastic version of Martenot-s invention from 2011 to 2018 on demand in small numbers. Much treasured by collectors, Hainbach got the last one made especially for him from the last parts in the shop at Eowave.

Mixer
You can choose from three recording positions: mono mic, stereo mics, and a unique -resonator- effect Hainbach designed. Try mono for a -documentary- perspective, stereo for beautiful ribbon mic width, and hear reverb feeding into reverb in -resonator- mode. Try upping the input overdrive for added overtones, and use the soft clip for output distortions.

Applications
Taking a page from the experimental percussionists- handbook, you can add thick and thin chains to the Gong. The sympathetic rattling creates effects that range from a soft shimmer to clangorous noise.

The strength of the M©tallique, its long ring, is also its weakness when playing fast: everything turns to mush. So we added a pillow that dampens the sound and makes Gong Amp -arpeggio-approved-.

Performance
Adjust the sound of Gong Amp to your playing style. Choose from two different gain settings on the gong with -Dynamic-. Add modulations for a slightly more psychedelic sound. Modulation adds liveliness as well as subtle stereo width as if the gong was swaying. It runs both pre-Gong and post-Gong, so leave this at low setting for purity and turn it up to tune in. Turn on -howl- to hear Gong Amp struggle beautifully when overloaded. Experiment with extreme pitch manipulations for cinematic effects.

Trip Mode
With Trip Mode, you can add automated crossfading between the three signal positions of mono, stereo and resonate. Use spread to adjust the rhythmic shift. From gentle drifts that last minutes to fast rotary effects, this is a sound designer-s dream.

Hainbach
Based out of Berlin, Germany, electronic music composer, and performer Hainbach creates shifting audio landscapes THE WIRE called -One hell of a trip-.

He has been fascinated with electronic sounds since he discovered the dial on the radio. Never losing his childhood wonder, he still searches for the sounds in between on modular synths, tape, and test equipment, making even the unmusical -music-.

Whipped and Smooth
Color: Tan
I didn’t know if I was going to love this as much as the drops, but this has an immediate blurring effect and it is whipped. So far I LOVE IT! My skin feels smooth with light to medium coverage. I love that it’s sunscreen.

Beautiful sunscreen
Color: Medium
The perfect skincare/sunscreen/tint! I am a huge fan of tinted moisturizers and struggle with finding the correct color, texture and staying power. Color science is a clear winner here. A luxurious product, creamy, perfect moisture, coverage and the perfect tone. A++ will buy again…..and again.❤️

I love this product
Color: Medium
I love this product. Best tinted moisturizer I've ever used. My low star rating is for the product container. On this tube (and the last one I ordered as well) the top separates from the base. When this happens, I can't pump the product out. I have to fiddle around with it quite a bit to get it reattached and then fiddle around some more to get it pumping again. At the price of this product, this issue should really be addressed. I can't believe I'm the only one who is dealing with this. Especially since the last two tubes performed in the same way.

SO GOOD
Color: Light
This product is so velvety and goes onto the skin so nicely. As per usual, it feels like natural skin but it has great coverage -- I was pleasantly surprised. I don't know what Colorscience does, but they have the magic. I am a forever customer of all of their products. It's a plus that their products are good for the skin AND have SPF as well.
