Arcaico Gorgone (used)

Archaic Gorgon

Multi-effect including distortion and delay with fully analog integrated amplifier and filter

GORGONE is the analogue multi-effect in eurorack format, built in THT technology with passive welded "point-to-point" components, composed of 4 sections (VCA, VCF, distortion, delay) connected internally and also usable separately. The input section is composed of an integrated VCA with the addition of a booster. HPG (High Pass Gate): by activating the switch, the higher frequencies are cut as the input volume of the distortion increases. The VCF section features a 12dB / oct SteinerParker multi-mode filter (LP-BP-HP) with a resonance range from 160 / 170Hz to 2.8 / 3.0Khz. The CV control on the frequency and the resonance that allows the self-oscillation give the possibility to use the filter also as VCO. The DISTORTION section is inspired by the MXR M-104 distortion: the cv control on the DRIVE and an output amplifier allow high levels of distortion without loss of volume. The DELAY section is a digital / analogue hybrid that reproduces the classic Vintage BBD / ECHO TAPE delay. Delay time: min 0.05ms and max 1.1 sec. The CV control on the delay time gives the possibility to create unpredictable repetitions, while the loop on / off switch "freezes" and loops the last repetition. The feedback is characterized by a switch that gives the possibility to darken or lighten the repetitions.
