i REALLY like this synth! // Metal Fetishist by Body Synths REVIEW

BoBeats 2024-10-14 | Today we are checking out the Metal Fetishist by Body Synths. If you like my videos you can support them here: http://www.patreon.com/bobeats

You can buy the Metal Fetishist from Unzunz here: unzu.nz/bbm (IMPORTANT NOTE! The price of Metal Fetishist shown in the video is in reality LOWER! It should be around 388 USD VS 490 shown in video)

An alternative to this would be Moog DFAM
EU: thmn.to/thoprod/430321?offid=1&affid=623
US: sweetwater.sjv.io/NkAqLb

Or if you want a similar randomized workflow but 303-ish sound I recommend the Herbs & Stones Liquid Foam herbs---stones.com/liquid-foam
