The Xenodrive is built to take a signal from subtle character to outright destruction, all in a compact desktop unit. Erica Synths describes it as a unique stereo distortion, overdrive, and waveshaper FX box developed with 112db, aimed at both studio sound design and live performance.
Its core appeal is flexibility: 12 hands-on parameters, save and recall for every setting, and MIDI control over all parameters make it easy to dial in precise tones and revisit them later. The unit also includes 3 distortions in one, with analog pre-gain, Germanium diode distortion emulation, and a waveshaper algorithm, plus compressor, a 2-band shelving EQ with a resonant peak, and a noise gate.
Wrapped in a sleek aluminium case, Xenodrive is designed to sit comfortably alongside Erica Synths’ other desktop gear. It is a stereo effects unit with USB MIDI, line input, and line output, making it a focused tool for reshaping everything from drums and synths to full mixes.
