PROS
- • Excellent signal isolation minimizes unwanted crosstalk for clean modulation.
- • DC-coupled CV inputs offer a wide range of modulation possibilities.
- • Compact 12HP footprint maximizes space in dense modular systems.
- • Low-distortion design preserves signal integrity even at high levels.
CONS
- • Limited modulation destinations; primarily focused on ring modulation.
- • Lack of a mix/blend control restricts tonal shaping options.
- • The mute switches, while functional, could benefit from finer control.

Frequently Asked Questions
It holds its own surprisingly well; the low distortion and isolation are comparable to units costing significantly more, though it lacks the broader feature set.
Absolutely. The attenuators and DC offset controls allow for very subtle and nuanced modulation effects, though its strength is in creating more aggressive timbres.
Yes, the headroom is sufficient to drive most Eurorack modules without clipping, though you may need to attenuate the signal depending on the incoming levels.
