ST Modular - Rattlecore (Piezo Preamp & Filter PCB)


video upload by ST Modular (Stefan)

"Rattlecore is a compact, high-gain piezo preamp PCB with an integrated high-pass filter. It is designed for DIY noise boxes, contact microphones, and experimental sound sources.

In this video, I briefly demonstrate a DIY wooden enclosure with installed metal parts that houses the Rattlecore PCB and can be played as a sound source.
