Nonlinearcircuits · 8 HP · 3U

Panel · 40.6 × 128.5 mm

Description

The classic Sprott jerk circuit with all its resistors replaced by LDRs, a seven-way vactrol: the brightness of the LED inside it sets the circuit's frequency. CV INJECT lets gates and CV push the chaos, to pause, stall or glitch it.

Key features

  • FREQ and FEEDBACK knobs
  • FREQ CV input with its CV FREQ knob, which drives the vactrol's LED
  • INJECT CV input with its CV INJECT knob
  • Four outputs, OUT1 to OUT4
  • A 5 mm lamp
  • 8 HP; Nonlinearcircuits publishes no current draw, depth or assembled price (it sells the DIY PCB and panel), and ModularGrid lists none
