Imagine twisting a couple of knobs on this compact box and watching a beefy analog waveform morph in real time—that's the magic at the heart of the EWG-1, where two reconfigurable sub-oscillators let you sculpt sounds that feel alive and unpredictable.
Its single wide-ranging VCO delivers a strong, monophonic voice with classic subtractive synthesis, backed by two square wave sub-oscillators you can dial in via dedicated volume and frequency controls. Flip the "wave on" switches to layer envelope-style waves onto each sub, then tweak reduce and wave knobs for precise tonal shaping—pitch modulation flows naturally from the interplay. Housed in JMT Synth's signature sturdy desktop format, it packs a mono audio out into a footprint perfect for any rig, retailing around $300 as a boutique standout among their lineup of quirky Japanese analog gems like the NVO-1 or TVCO-2.
Players dig its raw power for everything from gritty leads to experimental noise, praising the hands-on immediacy that keeps sessions endless; a few note it shines brightest with external sequencing to unlock its full chaotic potential.
