Heavy Duty

Voltage-starved oscillators turn small knob changes into glitches, beating drones, and abrasive textures suited to noise, ambient, and experimental sets.

Three oscillators feed a ring-modulating mixer, while a dedicated power-starve control destabilizes the circuit for harsher tones. The desktop instrument is built into an aluminum pedal enclosure and provides a 1/4-inch mono line output. It runs from a center-negative 9 V DC supply, is handcrafted in Australia, and traces the Drone Machine design back to 2014.
