video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2024, Finegear showcased their latest creations, the Dirt Magnet and the ModMix*. In an interview with Sonic State, Christian from *Fine Gear highlighted the features of the Dirt Magnet, a two-tap tape delay with a mixable tap, preamp from the Space Echo, CV-controllable speed, feedback, and panning, as well as additional effects like noise, crackle, ring mod, and MS-20 style filter. The Dirt Magnet is expected to be available in a couple of weeks for a price of $1200.

The Modmix is described as an experimental mixer that can also function as an instrument itself, allowing for feedback, no-input music, and modulation with CVs. The ModMix features 4 channels, 4 aux sends with feedback switches, and CV-controllable volume and panning.

The Dirt Magnet Available soon. Price 1,200 USD

Modmix Price 1,500 USD"

"Demo of the Modmix experimental console used as a feedback processor for a simple drum machine input, while a Dust Collector is connected to the sends.

Modmix is a CV-controlled 4-channel, 4-sends mixing console with stereo returns and send-to-channel switchable routing options for no-input mixing and feedback techniques.

Modmix contains the following features:
- 4 channels with mic/line inputs, preamp, equalizer, insert, 4sends, panning, volume, cue switch, signal and clipping LEDs,
- 4 send outputs,
- 4 stereo returns,
- phones output,
- chaining connectors,
- CV control for each channel’s 4 send amounts, panning and volume,
- routing switches for reinjecting each of the sends’ outputs into a channel and apply no-input/feedback techniques,
- phantom power,
- USB input for MIDI sync,
- 2 CV LFOs with MIDI sync,
- 2 Envelope followers,
- 2 analog vu-Meters.

Superbooth 2023: Finegear - Modmix - Dirt Magnet

video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke to Cristian from Finegear at Superbooth 2023, who introduced two new products, one of which is the Modmix, an experimental mixer with four channels that has simple EQ, preamp, and volume controls, four effect sends that can be rerouted back to each of the channels, and is also CV controllable. The mixer comes with two LFOs, which are digital and MIDI syncable, and two envelope followers. The four stereo returns can be used as returns or separate stereo channels. The mixer has mono inputs, mic, and line, with a combo input. Each of the channels has an insert, and there's also a phones output.

Finegear's also showed us the Dirt Magnet, a unique multi-effect box. It has a noise source with a modulatable bandpass filter, a crackle effect, a stutter effect, a genuine tape delay and a pitch shifter. It also has a stereo input and a stereo output.

Modmix and Dirt Magnet are on pre-order now and will be shipping in August.

Modmix Price: 1,300 Euros

Dirt Magnet Price: 1,200 Euros

Superbooth 22: Finegear - Dirt Magnet

video upload by sonicstate

"First their Dust Collector brought together a collection of analogue effects and noise shapers. Now Fine Gear continue their sonic experimentation with the Dirt Magnet, and it sets the dust flying.

Christian from Fine Gear gave us a view of the prototype Dirt Magnet which is built around a real tape delay with the preamp from the Space Echo, and modulation. On top of that, it gives us and MS-20 VCF, ring mod, crackle and noise sources, all modulatable with 2 digital syncable LFOs with symmetry and offset control, all through a stereo signal path. We also got an early glimpse of the Modmix, a 4 channel modulatable mixer with 2 LFOs and 2 envelope followers and feedback loops for extensive sound experimentation.

Dirt Magnet availability: end of summer. Price: estimated 1000 euros

Modmix availability: next year. Price: TBC"
