Touch-controlled sound destruction in your pocket—the Krackatone is a single op-amp analog crackle box that transforms silence into glitchy, textural noise with just your fingertips. Designed by Sid Rockett and inspired by Nicolas Collins' groundbreaking work, this ultra-compact device measures just 3.5" x 2" and runs on a 9V battery, making it perfect for experimental musicians and sound designers who crave tactile, unpredictable sonic chaos.
Use the Krackatone standalone to generate crackling and glitchy sounds by touching its multiple control plates, or patch in any external audio source through its 3.5mm input to mangle and destroy incoming signals into intriguing textural tones. The stereo output lets you integrate your mangled sounds into larger rigs or recording setups with ease. Whether you're layering ambient textures, adding gritty character to clean synth lines, or exploring pure sonic experimentation, this little noise maker delivers the kind of hands-on, unpredictable creativity that keeps electronic music interesting.
