The Intellijel Amps is a surprisingly versatile little module. It's a great choice for sound designers or anyone wanting a flexible dual VCA with extra routing options – the boost functions are particularly fun. It’s a workhorse that’ll add a lot of sonic character to your patch without taking up too much space.

PROS
- • Exceptional flexibility for creative signal routing and modulation.
- • The boost switches provide a surprisingly useful and musical gain stage.
- • Compact 6HP footprint maximizes space in tight Eurorack systems.
- • Solid Intellijel build quality; feels robust and well-engineered.
CONS
- • Limited headroom when boosting significantly; can introduce noticeable distortion.
- • Bias controls can be fiddly to adjust precisely for subtle level changes.
- • Phase rotation on Channel B can be unpredictable in complex routing scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Amps offers more routing flexibility with the boost and phase rotation, but the A-138 has a cleaner, more transparent sound when used as a straight VCA.
It's excellent for CV attenuation and manipulation; the attenuators are a core part of its functionality, though it shines even more when handling audio signals.
While technically possible to cascade many, you'll likely encounter headroom limitations and signal degradation after 2-3 modules due to the boost stages; practical limits depend on your signal levels.
