Hardware Blueprint

A look inside the signal path of our vintage discrete filters.

Passive Low-Pass RC Filter Schematic

Our custom hardware uses passive filtering with high-grade polyester film capacitors to roll off harsh high frequencies and achieve that signature warm 1970s audio flavor:

[Audio Input Jack] ---> [Volume Potentiometer] ---> [10k Resistor] ---> [22nF Capacitor to Ground] ---> [Output Jack]

Granular Synthesizer

Ingredients: ARM Cortex 32-bit DSP processor, stereo analog-to-digital converter (24-bit/48kHz), robust steel chassis, walnut wood side panels.

This desktop instrument transforms your incoming audio stream into granular soundscapes. Use the three main knobs to control Grain Size, Density, and Spray, creating smooth ambient textures or glitched rhythmic repetitions.

Orange & Yellow Preamp

Ingredients: Hand-selected silicon transistors, vintage carbon composition resistors, custom passive 3-band EQ, buffered/true-bypass switch.

A replica of the preamp stages found in legendary British recording consoles of the 70s. It provides massive headroom and character, acting either as a clean clean boost, an EQ tone shaper, or a full-fledged drive pedal.
