Sound Better

Take a sound, any sound. Send it through the Analog Heat, try out the eight different stereo analog distortion circuits, add stereo analog filtering and EQ, and hear beautiful things unfold. New life for your existing gear.

Do you want crazy good distortion and fuzz? Do you like filters and LFO's? Do you like midi and having presets? If you answered yes to all 3 then you'll love this box of hurt! Great big tactile knobs to control everything from filters and resonance to LOFO shapes and speed. You also have dedicated WET/DRY knobs and a High and Low knob to adjust your sound. Navigating the menu on Electrons products is usually a tedious bit of a learning curve, but not with this guy. It's easy to use and work right out of the box with zero major manual diving. A little expensive, but it's built like a rock and has most functions assigned to knobs so you don't have to think too much about where you need to go. Buy it.You'll love it.
