The Mechanics:
A compact cast-aluminum tabletop unit enclosing a suspended dual-spring acoustic tank driven by hand-sorted military germanium transistors and a vactrol-controlled feedback loop. Turning a single brass bias knob pushes the circuit smoothly from warm tape-like compression into self-oscillating sub-harmonic chaos, complete with patchable ±5V CV breaks.
Utilitarian Value:
Transforms hand-matched NOS germanium saturation into a standalone desktop feedback instrument for industrial noise and experimental guitar rigs without needing a full Eurorack skiff.
Target Ecosystem:
Industrial techno producers, noise sculptors, experimental guitarists, and boutique studio engineers.
