In October 2018, I got to know the tiny 2HP Pluck module. You can check out my thoughts and some demo recordings here: https://ask.audio/articles/review-2hp-pluck-eurorack-module

Best of 2017: Eurorack Synth Modules
The eurorack world continued to expand in 2017 with a large number of new modules, as well as improvements on old modules unleashed into awaiting racks and eager hands. Distilling these new additions to the landscape into a top ten list seemed like an exercise that was doomed to fail. Instead I decided to list a few module highlights in a few categories.

I usually try to avoid using the word “gnarly”. For me, it will be forever wrapped up in California surf and skateboard culture, drawing memories of Pauly Shore, grunge music, and mushroom cuts.

As noisy and glitchy as this guy can get, the feedback path thankfully features automatic gain control to protect your ears and speakers. Continue reading “Befaco Crush Delay v2”
