For each respecting gamer is that holds the maximum immersion in the recesses of your favorite game, the sound plays a vital role. Any explosion or shot, dying roar of the enemy, wheezy groan in chilling dungeon – the sound ignites our imagination more strongly than the best graphics and is an integral part of feeling that keeps us clinging to the computer screen for hours. But the pleasure requires sacrifices, and when you blew up to the powerful bass sound system, usually these are your neighbors, parents, spouse, which does not share your gaming preferences, and even your children (as a parent you are!). The reason gamers often risking their hearing aid and the anger of others is the desire not just hear but also feel the sound with your whole body. And this happens when low frequencies (bass) make the whole body to vibrate, to feel how the sound ran into us like a shock wave of an explosion on the screen. This desired effect is often incompatible with sound quality and some gamers are willing to torture your ears with distorted, thundering and booming bass in the name of the waves, which recreates the amplifier. For them, and all audiophile prefers deafening sound (from metal to techno geeks) company Guitammer Company offers a unique solution called ButtKicker – a device that captures vibration and oscillation of a wave bass without the need for powerful sound. ButtKicker ends midnight nightmare for your neighbors, and allows enjoying the acceptable level of sound, to experience the same shock wave, which until recently only powerful systems for touring rock could offer. ButtKicker can be used as a sound system and headset that are not capable of providing a physical sensation of bass.

But what is ButtKicker?
This is a low-frequency acoustic transducer (transducer of sound waves in physical movement, in the case of vibrations), which attaches to the chair on which you sit while playing, to the couch in front of home theater stereo under the seat in the vehicle. Connected to your computer or audio equipment in a special amplifier, the device monitors low frequency modulation of sound creates vibrations that are transmitted by the chair and shake your body as it would make strong sound. The feeling is amazing and just a few minutes you need to get used to the vibrations each time your screen explode explosion and speakers should you hit a bass wave. Get used you will wonder how you can play without that.
