Overview
Miasma is a voltage controlled distortion with a feedback
loop you can push to self oscillation for insane results and
interchangeable rectification diodes, giving you an unlimited
amount of sound possibilities within one module.
Miasma’s feedback path feeds the distorted signal back in the
input with no phase inversion, causing the module to self oscillate,
even with no input. The feedback path can be opened to send
it through different effects making Miasma perfect for complex
feedback patches.
A blend knob allows Miasma to be use in a precise way, for more
complex sound design.
The module’s clipping diodes are mounted on a header making
it easy to change them and craft the sound you want.
There module ships with six different diodes, from germanium
to LEDs and you can experiment adding your own. The output
level may vary depending on which diodes you use, this can
be adjusted with the level trimmer on the front panel.
