BRAND: Metasonix R-51

MODEL:  VCA Distortion

FUNCTION: Eurorack Synthesizer Module

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for a Metasonix R-51 VCA Distortion Eurorack Synthesizer Module. The Metasonix R-51 VCA Distortion Eurorack Synthesizer Module is a unique, discontinued vacuum-tube module that functions simultaneously as a Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) and a voltage-variable distortion unit. It is known for its "warm tube crunch" and ability to produce classic, asymmetrical soft-clipping distortion.

SPECS:

• Functionality: The module combines VCA and distortion capabilities that can be used simultaneously. With suitable CV processing, it can also act as a gate, limiter, or expander.
• Tubes: It utilizes two 7-pin miniature pentodes, typically type 12AW6, but can also accept a range of other pentode and pentagrid converter types with 12-volt heaters (e.g., 12AF6, 12AU6, 12BA6, 12BD6).
• Distortion Control: Dedicated CV inputs and a trim knob allow for control over the distortion amount, ranging from less than 2% up to more than 40%, depending on the specific tubes used.
• VCA Control: Separate CV inputs and a trim knob control the voltage gain, which is variable from less than -75dB to +5dB (typical).
• Power and Dimensions:
  • Current Draw: 150 mA +12V, 120 mA -12V (draws 400 mA on power-up).
  • Panel Width: 22 HP.
  • Depth: 25 mm.
• Handcrafted: The R-series modules are handcrafted in Northern California, USA.
