ES04 - VCM 1 Full Kit | Elby

The overdrive section from the VCM which has two switchable effects.

With the switch set at the "OVERDRIVE" position, the module functions to "square-up" an incoming signal. This is not the same as a simple comparator squaring function, though, since there is a rounded flattening of the signal peaks: an effect somewhat similar to overdriving a tube amplifier (except that in this version the process is voltage controllable!).

With the switch in the "LINEAR VCA" position, the module is a linear gain controlled VCA. This is useful for various functions such as amplitude modulation and for gating signals into the other sections.
