SNB-2b Analog Desktop Synthesizer

Imagine coaxing chaotic noise into throbbing basslines or glitchy drones from a pocket-sized analog box—that's the magic of this fully analog noise beast, where three sub-oscillators tangle with the main VCO to unleash sounds no ordinary synth can touch.

At its heart sits a voltage-controlled main oscillator fed by three subs, each with its own frequency and level knobs for dialing in wild interactions, all mixed into a distortion circuit shaped by ultra-sensitive hi, mid, and lo controls that let you sculpt anything from gritty lows to piercing highs. A single pitch knob sets the core tone, modulated via CV input for pitch control, while straightforward volume and direct audio in/out keep patching simple in any modular rig. Battery-powered with a 9V cell or center-negative DC9V adapter, its compact desktop form begs to be tossed in a bag for impromptu jams.

Players love how it punches above its weight in experimental setups, pairing beautifully with JMT's other noise tools like the EWG or SRV-1 for hours of unpredictable fun, though some note the distortion's touchy response demands a light hand to avoid overload.
