    Hi to all,
    First, sorry for not being very active on the OTO forum. I’ll try to come here more frequently in the future.
    About BOUM, the last prototype has satisfied me, at last !
    BOUM was the most complex machine that I had to design so far, on a technical and sonic sides. I’m now very happy with the sound of this machine, it will range from very subtle warming treatment, to very squary distortions. The compressor is very easy and fun to use, and the lowpass filter is very smooth.
    The design office will start working on BOUM from the 4th of september and should deliver us the printed boards and the manufacturing files september the 15th. After that the factory in Normandy will start the production this fall.
    I will give you specs and let you know an estimated release date in a month or two.
    All the best,
    Denis

    Thanks for taking the time to provide an update.
    Would be nice if there was a BOUM release notification list, users could sign up for.

    Hi,
    Thanks to all for your encouraging words !
    This week we’ll finalize the order of the first batch of BOUM with the electronics factory.
    We should know the price and an estimated release date in the next days.

    The specs are almost definitive :

    Pots :
    – One knob compressor (Threshold, Ration and Make-up Gain on one pot) from no compression to negative ratios Mid position is a limiter (inf:1), max is something like 0.1:1
    – Drive : Gain after the compressor, from 0 db to 60 dB, depending on the “disto” setting
    – Filter : 12dB/Oct., non-resonant Hi-Cut filter from 50Hz to 20kHz
    – Level

    Parameters :
    – Input Gain : 0, +6, +12 and +18 dB
    – Attack and release (6 parameter each). The first attack setting is quasi-instant
    – Lo Cut filter : 6dB/Oct. Flat, 75Hz, 150Hz, 300Hz
    – Disto : Boost (soft clipper), Tube (well, an emulation!), Fuzz and Square (called a comparator distortion)
    – Gate : Noise gate, from “No” to “-10db” (to create gated effects)

    BOUM is 100% analog unit (even the side-chain) but will be MIDI controllable.
    All the best,
    Denis

    What an anxious wait isn’t it ?

    Everyone seems ready to pull the trigger, will there be enough for everyone ? Only OTO knows !

    I thought this will be my Christmas present, I guess I’ll have a paper sheet whith “Voucher for Oto Boum” written on it instead…

    :p
