Effects units

Notes: Beautiful combo of vintage tech and modern features from Benidub's boutique analogue phaser unit. Six-stage stereo processing with real-time switching to 12-stage mono mode. Excellent playability with large controls.

Supplier's Notes:
Old school mojo with a modern twist on versatility and sound quality
PHASE is an analogue optical phaser, featuring 12-stage in mono and 6-stage when used in stereo. You can switch between the two modes with the "Mode Select" control any time. We made it completely clickless, allowing you to flawlessly switch mode during your set! This unique control provides even more playability and a wide range of phaser tones.

100% analogue audio path for subtle-to-extreme true phasing colours and tones

Unlike many other phasers in the market, designed after guitar-frequencies needs, Benidub's PHASE has been built with a "studio" oriented design in mind, making it the best phaser for either producers and musician. From studio-standard headroom to balanced connections, everything is designed to improve sound quality while granting a smooth and precise excursion along a wide frequency spectrum.

Features

100% Analogue
As any other BENIDUB device, Phase is precisely built with high quality components for a complex and organic sound. The optical-based design not only ensures the best signal/noise ratio for a phaser circuit but also provides the iconic old-school timbre we all love.

Versatile Routing
PHASE can be used as a 12-stage mono or a 6-stage stereo phaser. We designed it as a playable feature, allowing you to switch between the two modes with the Mode Select, clickless control. Not just a "setting", but a tool to build new phasing effect possibilities.

Performance Oriented Design In A Sturdy Case
While designing PHASE we kept our easy-to-use, performance oriented philosophy. PHASE comes in a tank-built enclosures with every control you'll ever need on board, making it an extremely playful stompbox.

Specifications
1. Input L:

1/4" Balanced or Unbalanced jack. The "main" mono input of the unit.

2. Bypass:

Turns off the out of phase signal, thereby stopping the phaser effect.

3.LFO Depth:

Sets the amount of modulation.

4.Input:

In INSERT mode, you got the usual 50/50 dry signal. In AUX mode, you got the full wet signal.

5. Mode Select:

On MONO you get 12 stages. On STEREO you get 6-stages per channel. The stereo mode can be used with a mono input to generate a mono-to-stereo output.


6. Power Input:

12VDC, 500mA, center positive, 2.1mm*5.5mm barrel connector.

7.LFO Mode:

In LINEAR mode, all the 12 (6+6) stages will receive the same modulation. In MIRRORED mode, the first batch of stages modulation will be inverted.

8. LFO Rate:

Sets the modulation speed.

9. Centre frequency:

Sets the frequency that the phaser will revolve around. The Centre Frequency determines where the middle of the comb-filter will be on the spectrum.

10. Feedback:

The feedback knob controls the amount of phase-shifted signal that gets fed back to the phase-shifting circuit.

Notes: Second-generation version of Boss's excellent looper gives you five stereo tracks, four simultaneous effects, hands-on control and full MIDI support. Ideal for live use but also a creative studio tool.

Basically, the Ekdahl Moisturizer is a spring reverb where the springs are exposed so they can be played/hit/fiddled with. As well as being capable of creating sound in itself, you can of course also play sound through the springs like a regular spring reverb - this makes for happy-fun-time finger-modulation of the reverb on whatever audio that's going through it. On top of this there's an analog multimode filter that can be used to attenuate or exaggerate certain frequencies in the sound, this is real handy while playing the springs as you can - for instance - cut all the highs and just make thunderous doomy sounds or do the opposite; cut all the lows and make that ear piercing high frequency special love. Also, it incorporates an LFO that's internally routable to the filter and that also has some external routing-stuff. The Ekdahl Moisturizer has tons of CV / Expression pedal options on the back for even more hillarious moments. The Moisturizer is a mono unit.

The Moisturizer was developed with the help of Jason Willett (Half Japanese, Leperchaun Catering), Martin Schmidt (Matmos, Instant Coffee), Joshua Atkins (Polygons, Major Powers), mom & dad and many more.

The Ekdahl Moisturizer contains exactly:
Preamp (up to 10 times gain)
Reverb
Reverb / Preamp wet/dry crossfader (Knob & CV/EP controllable)
State variable filter with
Lowpass/Bandpass/Highpass seamless crossover (Knob, CV/EP & LFO controllable)
Cutoff (Knob, CV/EP & LFO controllable)
Resonance (WITHOUT resonance limiter)
LFO with
Speed control (Knob & CV/EP controllable)
Square / Triangle crossover
External output with output amplitude knob
Filter / No filter wet/dry crossfader (Knob & CV/EP controllable)

The preamp section is designed for a max of 10 times gain, this to accomodate for low level output instruments such as guitars etc. The reverb tank has normal reverb signal gain on it, meaning that if you hit the springs hard they'll distort like crap which is real nice, if you hit them softly the sound won't be distorted.

The filter in the Ekdahl Moisturizer is abrasive, the fact that it doesn't have any resonance limiting makes it possible to get the filter to sound *really* bubbly & metallic (way more then any filter i've ever heard), but it's also of course capable of sounding completely "normal" - it all depends on the amount of resonance and/or gain. The fact that you can seamlessly fade inbetween lowpass, bandpass or highpass filter (or lowpass+bandpass and highpass+bandpass) makes the unit pretty damn versatile and by using the wet/dry filter/no filter crossfader there's some neat shit that can be done too. Now it should be said that due to the fact that there's no resonance limiter, if using very high gain, with high resonance and turning the cutoff frequency very high the filter might cut out - not to worry, just turn the cutoff back a bit and the filter pops in again. This happens because the filter gets overloaded and can be avoided with a resonance limiter, however if i had one of those all the super-awesome bounce would be gone and it'd sound like all the other filter out there.

The Ekdahl moisturizer has six CV/Expression pedal related jacks on the back, one of them is a LFO output so you can control other shit with The Moisturizer's LFO. All the other jacks are inputs and takes either CV or Expression pedal, they are: Reverb Mixture, VCF Cutoff, VCF Filter Mode (LP/BP/HP), Filter Mixture and LFO Speed.

Notes: This new device is a powerful new CV controlled effects unit for your electronic music setup and pairs extremely well with the KOMA Field Kit.

- Looper
- Frequency Shifter
- Sample Rate Reducer/Bitcrusher
- Digital Delay
- Analogue Spring Reverb
- 4 Channel VCA Mixer
- 4 Step Mini Sequencer
- Envelope Generator

All of this, combined with the new 4 Channel CV Interface which allows you to route four CV signals throughout the device, means an incredible control over sound and timbre and a great addition to your mobile performance rig.

The Field Kit FX is built up from 7 separate functional blocks all focused on mangling and changing incoming audio and CV signals. They are designed to operate together as a coherent addition to our Field Kit Electroacoustic Workstation or alternatively together with other pieces of music electronics with the ability to use control voltage signals.

Notes: BAM is a stereo reverb processor inspired by the late 70s / early 80s digital reverberator units.These units are sought after by sound engineers, producers and musicians for their grainy, warm and musical reverberations.

The audio signal was severely high-cut filtered (10 kHz was standard at that time) because of the limited sample clock. Some units used 12 bit gain stepping converters to achieve a 15 bit resolution and others used the first 16 bit converters. Then the samples were digitally processed through a 16 to 20 bit fixed-point CPU with limited memory. The algorithms had to be simple but efficient to create the most musical and versatile reverberation from these limitations. And the hardware itself added grain and warmness to the sound.

The technology used in BAM is very close to the one used in these early digital reverberator units : 16 bit converters, 20 bit fixed-point processing, analog filtering and even an input transformer transient simulator. Some of the 7 reverb algorithms are influenced by the early structures, and some are brand new.

BAM is a very musical and unique reverb processor. It combines the sound quality of a vintage reverb processor with the playability of a desktop effect in a compact format with MIDI control and 36 user presets.

Notes: Ultra-characterful 80s grit from this unique stereo delay. The BIM's 12-bit circuitry gives all that vintage colour with modern features like perfect stereo balance, MIDI control and tap tempo.

Supplier notes:
BIM is a 12-bit stereo delay unit inspired by some studio delay processors built in the early 80s. These monophonic processors have been renowned for the quality and musicality of their sound. The processing was mainly analog (companders, limiters, low-pass filters, feedback path,...), and the signal was converted to digital just for the delay section, using 12-bit AD/DA converters and some RAM memory chips.

The advantage of this technology is particularly obvious when the sound is feedbacked many times through the whole analog and 12-bit circuitry. You'll hear a sweet degradation and dark damping that the 100% digital delay boxes can't offer. BIM was designed with the purpose of creating a unique, modern and versatile effects processor based on this 80's technology.

The sound of an old 12-bit digital delay has been mixed with modern features such as stereo processing, extra FXs, many user presets, MIDI control, tap tempo, compact size- therefore BIM is the best of both worlds!

BIM is the perfect companion for the musician, producer, sound engineer or live performer who is looking for a unique, warm and musical delay processor.

Notes: You've heard of parametric EQ, now meet the paranormal filter. Filter on steroids with experimental six-band EQ, delay and loads of LFO modulation. A powerful, creative take on a filter box.

Supplier's Notes:
Dementor Paranormal Filter is a powerful analogue filter with infinitive of option to modulate the sound, it's perfect to create field soundlandscape and introduce in the dark side of the sound with noise and harmonics feedback sounds.

The Dementor is a unique filter, EQ and delay that takes your signals and makes sure to add spice and character to your sound.

You send one or two signals through the machine by using the two independent signal inputs with level control. The special filter features cutoff and resonance control is LFO controlled - in fact, it's three LFOs for cut-off, resonance and time modulation. You also get an experimental six-band EQ called Nuances (not a usual EQ!) with level control and feedback. The echo/delay, is also LFO controlled.
