Frequently Asked Questions
It allows you to subtly introduce gain and saturation, adding warmth or grit to your signals; it’s not a distortion effect, but rather a gentle coloration.
The normalization is well-implemented; I've experienced minimal bleed, making it a truly useful feature for streamlining patches.
While some alternatives offer more advanced features, the Pico VCA2’s simplicity, small size, and solid performance make it a compelling value for basic VCA duties.
