NOISY MIC-2

Imagine grabbing a mic and instantly turning your whispers into screeching, otherworldly noise— that's the raw magic of microphone feedback synthesis done right in this compact Japanese powerhouse.

Its analog heart pumps through a single VCO modulated by an internal LFO, mixing your voice with that oscillator or an external CV/audio signal via a clever multiplex circuit—think ring mod vibes tuned for perfect balance. Flip to EXT CV mode to blend in other synths or noise boxes, then sculpt with dedicated Treble, Middle, and Bass controls feeding into a gritty distortion stage for everything from subtle warps to total sonic destruction. Press and hold the mic switch to activate—output mutes instantly on release to kill feedback on command—and power it portably with a 9V battery or center-negative DC9V adapter. With 1/4" TRS audio in, mono out, and CV/Gate ports, it's a monophonic beast built for experimental patching in JMT's lineup of minimalist noise tools.

Players dig its hands-on chaos for live voice mangling and drone textures, praising the responsive EQ for wild vocal mutations, though some note the momentary switch demands a steady grip for longer jams.
