Erica Synths Fusion VCA v2 Eurorack Voltage Controlled Amplifier Module
Erica Synths Fusion VCA v2
The core of the Erica Synths Fusion VCA v2 is a Russian miniture pentode 1Ж24B with power consumption comparable to an LED.
Features
• Miniture pentode based VCA.
• Manual VCA bias control.
• Audio signal feedback control.
• Germanium diodes / tube overdrive.
• Waveshaping - signal deform.
• 2 input signal mixer.
• Overdrive flavour select switch.
Erica Synths developed unique audio and tube control circuits so the Fusion VCA v2 sounds like nothing you've heard before.
Feedback add harmonics to the original signal and acts similar to a cut off knob on VCFs and a the Deform knob controls the amount of distortion in the germanium diodes based circuit.
All Fusion modules by default are configured to work with regular Eurorack PSUs.
Due to the fact that the cold tube heaters have lower resistance, Fusion modules have significant power consumption peak at startup, when power consumption almost doubles for 1-2 seconds. This is not a problem with linear PSUs that have power inertia, but may cause switching PSUs internal protection to turn off the power supply. Please make sure your PSU has some headroom before installing multiple Fusion modules.
The Erica Synths Fusion Series modules are designed with vacuum tubes and semiconductors therefore they bring warm, powerful sound and overdrive possibilities of vacuum tubes into your modular system.
