New Eurorack Distortion - December 2023 edition

video upload by John Schussler

"New month, new modules.

This month, distortion!

Some are tube, some aren't. It's a mixed bag. But it's interesting to hear tube up against diode to remember how the vibe changes. There are some here that are warm and fuzzy, and others that clearly just want to rip off your ears and throw them in a blender.

So don't crank your volume right away...you'll find out the hard way that I've put no limiting on the audio here....

Stoel Music Systems Vacuum Tube Distortion Eurorack Module

video upload by

"The Stoel Music Systems Vacuum Tube Distortion provides two stages of vacuum tube distortion/waveshaping with a switch that selects between using one or both gain stages in series. The first stage is always active. A two-position switch adds the second stage in series after the first. The harmonics knob controls the amount of even-order or odd-order harmonics in the first gain stage. The saturation knob controls the gain and the shaping of the waveform. The saturation is also controllable with CV by using the front panel jack and corresponding knob to set the amount of CV applied to the shape parameter. At extreme negative CV, the tube will go into cutoff, making it function as a voltage-controlled gate.

"My philosophy is to make beautiful, long-lasting instruments with musically functional user interfaces that will become heirlooms for future generations of music makers. I enjoy a day of soldering and prototyping in my workshop as much as a day in the studio immersed in sound.

I started tinkering with electronics and designing sound effects for school plays when I was a teenager. During high school, I worked hard to be able to buy a Juno 106, an Oberheim Matrix 1000, and an Akai sampler. Then, I studied electronic music and audio for film and video in college. I also started modifying organs and keyboards and learning how they worked. This led to starting a musical instrument parts and repair business I operated for over ten years.

In the back of my mind, I dreamed of designing synthesizers and effects processors. After moving on from the parts and repair business, I was hospitalized and nearly lost my life to COVID. During my recovery, I looked through all the designs and ideas I had accumulated for twenty years and decided it was time to begin making my ideas a reality.

The Vacuum Tube Ring Mod is our most popular module, and the one I patch in the most. It has more harmonics and edgy character than a typical solid state ring modulator. It is built using full-sized vintage vacuum tubes, ceramic tube sockets, and audio transformers. The look and feel was really important to me so it has a high-gloss aluminum front panel with a raised texture and UV-cured digital printing.

Every month we give away a free Eurorack module to one of our newsletter subscribers. We’ve given away Vacuum Tube Ring Mods, VCOs, Dual Morphing LFOs, and other fun modules. Worldwide shipping is included. You can sign up at https://www.stoelmusicsystems.com."
