Of course there are other ways of abusing sound, many of which I love. I think of these boxes as strange pieces of sound art, really, from the unusual components to the obscene labels. I'm not sure I would buy them, and I'm not endorsing buying them -- my own preference is to design sounds from raunchy to delicate using software and found gear. But they're interesting sound objects, nonetheless. And given the work that goes into designing and building them, I certainly respect Metasonix selling them. In a way, it's a kind of an amusing ****-you to the musical instruments / audio industry, and it can be appreciated as what it is. Well, hey, I’ll defend Metasonix.

Why would I want to pay for a device to do it? (the device's title reminds me of a game I did last year. It was based on a TV game show where a contestant would be subjected to torture in the same area. I recorded various crowds yelling: "Ohhhh... myyyy Baawwwllllsss."
