Bastl Instruments Dark Matter

MUSICAL FEATURES

“Dark Matter” jointly developed by BASTL INSTRUMENTS and CASPER ELECTRONICSis inspired by "no-input" mixer feedback techniques, allowing you to create complex sounds that go beyond the limits of amplifier circuitry while retaining their naturalness.

Dark Matter uses "positive feedback" to stimulate the audio energy, send the signal to the amplifier, and then feed it back into the amplifier and re-amplify it over and over until it reaches a breaking point in the circuit, just before everything collapses. I will use it for.

• DRIVE
  
• Input VCA w/gain and soft clipping
  
• “Hyper Drive” switch (Extra Punch!)
