Selected by Music Radar as one of the best Eurorack/modular releases at Winter NAMM 2020, the Orobas tube VCA took Animal Factory back to its tube-amp-building origins. This version lives up to its spiritual predecessor in every way.
The signal routing possibilities and control offered by this module will open up a ton of usage possibilities - use it as a dual 4-channel tube mixer, or an end stage saturator, for mild saturation or for severe wave-folding. The characteristics of this tube make for one unique VCA. Add the CV-controllable feedback loop to the mix and you will very likely (we don't guarantee this though) open up dark portals of cosmic influence and summon goetic demons into your life.
This version of the Orobas ships with gnarly 6J32P (6Ж32П) tubes. These are equivalent to the EF86 Pentode, which are still in production and quite easily available. The tonal differences between this and the first version are wholly due to the tubes; the rest of the circuit is practically identical. This version has its own grimy flavour - to our ears, it sounds a little "faster" than the 6SJ7.
