Doug

There's a new, limited edition of Doug (and DougSwitches) with a two colour, metal front panel. There are only a few to grab, and best of all they are the same price as a standard Doug. Only available on our web shop (but there's free shipping to most of the world over £100).

Cryfder

We're proud to announce our third module, Cryfder! It's a small but mighty dual diode VCA, with a vacuum fluorescent triode mixer. The VFD mixer also has a feedback circuit that lets you push it into real classic tube distortion. Each VCA has CV attenuverters and can be independently overdriven into soft-clip saturation. It's a flexible building block with a place in any patch.
