Developed as a collaborative engineering effort between Gamechanger Audio and Erica Synths, the Plasma Drive translates incoming audio into continuous high-voltage electrical discharges within a sealed, xenon-filled tube. By converting the source signal into a 3000-volt beam of electricity rather than using standard clipping diodes or transistors, the module yields a highly aggressive, rapidly gating distortion profile packed with unique non-linear harmonics. Tailored specifically for the modular environment, this unit expands upon the original pedal architecture by integrating dedicated CV inputs, comprehensive wet/dry blending, and independent trigger-controlled tracking oscillators for sub and upper octaves.
Features
- High-Voltage Signal Path: Bypasses conventional overdrive circuits by boosting the audio signal to 3000V and generating continuous electrical discharges through a visual xenon gas tube.
- Expanded Modular Control: Features dedicated Control Voltage (CV) inputs accommodating -10V to +10V for both the primary distortion Voltage level and the Dry/Wet blend.
- Tracking Oscillators: Incorporates built-in tracking oscillators for +1 Octave up and -1 or -2 Octaves down, which can be manually engaged or dynamically fired via external trigger inputs.
- Dedicated Equalization: Equipped with a pre/post-effect 2-band EQ featuring Low (600Hz, +/- 9dB) and High (1.5kHz, +/- 10dB) boost and cut controls for precise tonal shaping.
- Eurorack Specifications: 16HP module width with a depth of 50mm; requires a peak current draw of 200mA at +12V and 100mA at -12V via a standard ribbon cable.
Condition
This module is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition, showing absolutely no rack rash and maintaining a clean, unblemished faceplate. The internal xenon tube fires responsively, and all potentiometers, toggle switches, and patch points function smoothly without any noise or signal degradation. It has been kept in a smoke-free studio environment.
