Befaco

Notes: The ultimate Eurorack case.

At home, stage or into the studio, the Befaco 7U Case brings your system to the next level.

Power to the people

Equipped with Befaco's latest and most sophisticated power supply (Trolley Bus), the Befaco 7U Case supplies up to 5000mA of power. Ready to feed the most modern and power-hungry modules.

Connected to the world

The Befaco 7U Case rear panel count with a vast array of connections to pair your system with external devices. Each connector follows the Intellijel format, making them fully compatible with Intellijel's 1U modules.

Build to last

Designed with a high-quality Unibody Black Anodised Aluminum frame, the Befaco 7U Case is a slim and sturdy solution to travel with. The included PET-G clear cover keeps your modules safe even patched.

Designed to fit any situation, the Befaco 7U Case metal frame is a lightweight and strong device by itself. With a maximum depth of 53mm (power supply side) and 70mm (rest of the case), it can house the vast majority of modules out there. Equipped with a high-quality anti-vandalic power button and a Kensington lock connector, the Befaco 7U Case is also a safe device to travel with.

Because power is important for us, this new Trolley Bus systems drop up to 5000mA on the +12V rail, 2500mA on -12V, and 4000mA on +5V with high voltage stability under load and low noise. The case drives up to 36 modules over its 208HP (3U) and 104HP (1U) rows (Intellijel format).

6x 6,3" Jacks I/Os with Balanced and Unbalanced configuration, MIDI In/Out/Thru ports, USB Device Type B, and Apple compatible USB-A charging ports. The Befaco 7U Case offers a huge amount of connections fully accessible from its internal I/O Board.

Created with compatibility in mind, the rear panel ports are fully compatible with Intellijel 1U modules. The 1U row can be easily customized to be at the centre of the case with just two screws.

To keep your modules safe and dust free, a custom PET-G clear cover is included with the case. The cover has been designed to close patched, and a custom velcro belt is included to keep it safely closed.

To save space in your studio desk, the Befaco 7U Case is also Vesa mount fully compatible. It counts with Vesa threads at the bottom to easily attach it to desktop or wall Vesa stands.

Notes: Befaco's unique GameBoy-based effects module allows you to change effects by swapping cartridges, all with CV control over key parameters. Effects include Skuara's harsh fuzz, Instruo's micro phaser and much more.

Supplier's Notes:
A crazy idea with the support of a bunch of crazy people.

A Multi FX module based on game carts!

FxBoy is a multi-FX module designed in collaboration with several talented manufacturers.

This is an effect unit with CV control over the parameters and Dry/wet control, with a Built-in CV controllable four bands EQ.

Each effect is physically hosted in a hot-swappable game cart and designed by a different manufacturer: Touell Skouarn with Skuara a harsh fuzz with overdrive, Instruo with micro Phaser, a two-flavoured Phaser, Feedback modules with a vintage Flanger, XOR with FX-Girl, a digital double effect module: Delay + Granularizer, Making sound machines with an analogue Wave folder, Tesseract with a bit crusher and Befaco Trash distortion!

What have these crazy people put in their cartridges?

Trash

Trash is a harmonic distortion that combines both clipping and folding flavours. Modes A and B will select between aggressive and more aggressive flavours!

Flanger

Analogue Wavefolder

Eskuara

AVMA
AVMA by Tesseract Modular is a bipolar VCA with one switchable wavefolder stage followed by an analogue frequency reducer. The VCA gain is x2, it can be used with i5V oscillator signals at the CV input for ring modulation effect.
Micro Phaser

Three cascaded all-pass filters, a built-in LFO and a saturator in the feedback path.

The purpose for this cartridge is to completely f&%k your phase up!

Instruo - We make sounds with the things that we make to make sounds with.

Technical Specifications

CV control over all parameters and Dry/wet
CV controllable four-band EQ, routable post or pre-effect.
Hot swap for all carts.
Selector for two different flavours of each cart.
Open specifications to design your own carts
