SPICE – Distortion/Saturation Unit from Plankton Electronics
This is new and pushes a lot of different buttons. You can think of it as something you’d use in a way similar to the Elektron Heat, but has its own flavor and way of doing things.
Highlights …
- It is a hybrid analog and digital system.
- It uses the Korg NU-TUBE as a part of the analog section for genuine tube sounds and distortion.
- There are additional analog circuits beside the tube ones for a total of seven options.
- It includes an envelope follower allowing you to shape and process sound in creative ways.
- The digital section is open-source, so lots of options are available there.
- You can use it’s patch connections for other unique configuration.
- Is available either for Eurorack or desktop
- If you want to, you can buy it as a kit and do the assembly yourself – or buy it pre-assembled.
