Erica Synths are a team of visionaries, engineers and musicians who create modules and instruments that are different in terms of sound, looks and functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSimilar to PLASMA Pedal, the PLASMA Eurorack Drive boosts audio signal to 3000V and transforms it into a series of continuous high-voltage discharges in a xenon-filled tube. In essence – you are playing a lightning bolt of electricity, and the electrical discharges produced by your instrument are instantly converted back into an analogue audio signal. The result – a quick, responsive, and extremely heavy distortion with tons of unique character!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe PLASMA Drive Eurorack Module brings the sounds of the PLASMA Pedal to the modular world. The functions of the pedal are complemented with CV control over the level of distortion and a dry\/wet mix. The Module introduces tracking oscillators for a new Octave Up \u0026amp; Two-Octave Down function, thus adding even more harmonics to the original signal. Tracking oscillators can be switched on\/off manually or via trigger signals. The PLASMA Drive module is powered with conventional eurorack PSU ribbon cable and the power consumption is around 250 mA.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eUnique Harmonic Saturation\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePLASMA converts your instrument’s signal into a rapid series of electric discharges, which results in a large amount of non-linear harmonic saturation that causes extremely rich and responsive attacks, and brings out screeching sharp overtones and harmonics. These harmonic artifacts, produced as a by-product of the high voltage discharge are uncommon in traditional signal amplification, and therefore PLASMA Pedal’s distortion is unlike anything you have heard before.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eNatural Noise Gate\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAs soon as you stop playing the electrical discharge within the gas-filled tube is interrupted, and the pedal will not produce any output signal at all. This feature allows you to achieve extreme contrasts between individual notes. Blend\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBlend in your clean sound or your already overdriven sound to produce unique dirty sounds. Experiment with gated PLASMA sound and unaffected clean sound mixed together, can be assigned to CV.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eExtremely Wide EQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe PLASMA pedal loses the original dry input signal and creates a new signal from fluctuations in the electromagnetic field surrounding the gas-discharge tube. This allows for a very wide range of frequencies. Boost and cut the lows and highs with the dedicated knobs. The EQ can be switched to affect only the wet sound or dry sound, which is especially suitable for bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eOctave Function\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePlasma Drive features tracking oscillators for octave up, octave down, and mixed mode. Octave down mode can be switched to 2 octaves down to add even more harmonics to the distortion. These features are CV assignable.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAudio input level: up to 20 V ptp\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eEQ low freq boost\/cut: ±9 dB, 600 Hz corner frequency\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eEQ hi freq boost\/cut: ±10dB, 1.5 kHz corner frequency\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCV input level: -10 V – +10 V\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePanel width: 16HP\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePanel height: 3U\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eModule depth: 45 mm, 50 mm with the protective casing\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePeak power requirement: 200 mA @+12 V, 100 mA @-12 V\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gamechanger Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450388705383,"sku":"114918","price":369.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/gamechanger-plasma-drive-euro_114918_1_8b16bea6-b7fe-444c-9578-c7754196a1fc.jpg?v=1787092862","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/gamechanger-audio-plasma-drive-eurorack-module","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
