UTILIZATION

September potentiometers (one for volume), where each has a specific function: the machine is very easy to use and understanding.
Insofar as it is a experimental instrument, you must spend time to find the desired settings.
Best to rotate a few minutes while it heats up and becomes "stable" (the manufacturer recommends 20 minutes of heating).
Sometimes the notes are a bit tricky to find (with a tuner), you must juggle the tilt that you want to adjust and filter, without starting the LFO and pulsation! But this complexity (relative) is part of the charm of the beast.

SOUNDS

A drone order is recognized, sounds in a way that is peculiar ... It is ideally suited to compounds drone-ambient-noise in metallic tones, rich accompaniments. Playing on the filter can be drawn fabulous harmonics, spent in a reverberation will magical. In a saturated, we get a very dirty sound, perfect for making good sticky textures.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year spent in different types of effects and filters, and I never will separate me!
Eric Archer, the builder, is a very friendly and helpful guy (I ordered him directly, he has sent me in less than 15 days).
One note of customs (VAT, customs and fees) is a little salty. I feared that his style (khaki bandolier and potentiometers) not a problem, but no.
In short, if you make the noise, drone, or both, this is a very good choice.
