Optika VCA - 4hp - Optical Dual VCA with Overdrive
What's that I hear? You want grit and filth for your system? Tired of not having enough harmonics in your signal? Maybe all your sounds are a bit too cold and sterile?
Why not a light inside your system with the Optika VCA - two independent optical VCAs with drunken muscles and a chip on their shoulder, they can go nice and easy on your signal, or they can inject it with a hot dose of raw power that'll give you guitar-face in no time.
The vactrols? Hand made in my workshop, of course, guaranteed cruelty-free, no dolphins harmed and zero palm oil. The sound? You'll get that slewy, chewy, turn-your-triggers-into-envelopes mess that you love vactrols for, but with the utmost care taken to minimize bleed and all the other things we don't always love about vactrols.
Yes, great, you've got lots of VCAs with "clean gain on tap" and "exemplary responsiveness" and all that other stuff - please excuse me if I'm yawning with utter boredom and rolling my eyes- now, get yourself a fully analog optical VCA that'll make your hairs stand on end when you push the gain into distortion and press the vactrol into saturation.
Use it for stereo, use it for two signals, use both channels in sequence, but please let your signals go towards the light and put it to use! Don't make me beg!
