Supplier's Notes:
A crazy idea with the support of a bunch of crazy people.
A Multi FX module based on game carts!
FxBoy is a multi-FX module designed in collaboration with several talented manufacturers.
This is an effect unit with CV control over the parameters and Dry/wet control, with a Built-in CV controllable four bands EQ.
Each effect is physically hosted in a hot-swappable game cart and designed by a different manufacturer: Touell Skouarn with Skuara a harsh fuzz with overdrive, Instruo with micro Phaser, a two-flavoured Phaser, Feedback modules with a vintage Flanger, XOR with FX-Girl, a digital double effect module: Delay + Granularizer, Making sound machines with an analogue Wave folder, Tesseract with a bit crusher and Befaco Trash distortion!
What have these crazy people put in their cartridges?
Trash
Trash is a harmonic distortion that combines both clipping and folding flavours. Modes A and B will select between aggressive and more aggressive flavours!
Flanger
Analogue Wavefolder
Eskuara
AVMA
AVMA by Tesseract Modular is a bipolar VCA with one switchable wavefolder stage followed by an analogue frequency reducer. The VCA gain is x2, it can be used with i5V oscillator signals at the CV input for ring modulation effect.
Micro Phaser
Three cascaded all-pass filters, a built-in LFO and a saturator in the feedback path.
The purpose for this cartridge is to completely f&%k your phase up!
