5 out of 5 starsWacky, wild, vroom zoom pew pew! Become the tractor tire beam in your own kooky voltage controlled world! Or be dumb. Your call, but I think the choice is obvious.

5 out of 5 starsThis mic rules. Size, filth, build and the ability to ruin a night's sleep if placed under one's mattress. Everything you would expect from Mr. Sturgeon.

5 out of 5 starsPerfect transaction and when I compared the sound of this contact mic to my others, this one is clearly picking up a better range of frequencies, so I'm quite pleased.

5 out of 5 starsThe contact mics Crank sold me in 2007 are both still working amazing and integral parts of my setup. That should tell you more about his workmanship than whatever I might think of this new mic I've had a week. (It's awesome too tho. Duh.)

5 out of 5 starsWithin minutes of opening this package, I screwed around and summoned an Elder God. The Temporal Knob Twirler is a sturdy little device that does exactly what it purports to do, and it is clearly made by someone who understands the needs of an aspiring noise musician. Simple, yet powerful, which is the name of the game. I paired mine up with a WMD Geiger Counter distortion module, and a little bit of flange pedal, and mayhem ensued. 5 stars for an excellent product, plus five additional stars for the hole it tore into the fabric of reality!

Crank Sturgeon in a few sentences…
I've been building contact microphones since the early 1990's. It started as an art school thing: a lot of us (art students) had heaps of sonic ideas, but zero actual musical talent. This resulted in frequent trips to thrift stores, dumpsters, and, if we had a little extra cash, Radio Shack - anything it took to get our projects and up and running and sounding cool. My DIY approach evolved over the years, as a sound-making artist and also as a technician, working for audio component manufacturers. The combination of experimental tinkering and professional work led to developing a product line of microphones: not only was I using these microphones on my tours, there was a growing number of inquiries on how to purchase them.
Fast-forward to 2007. I started Huso Solutions as an official small business / DBA so as to better promote my inventory of DIY transducers, shaker boxes, gadgets, and, of course: contact microphones. I signed up with Etsy in 2013.
