4-Band Distortion Mög D-2

Pre-amp, overdrive and distortion

The D-2 is a four band pre-amp, overdrive and distortion module in Eurorack format with manual or CV

control over the on and off.

You should see the D-2 as a four band vintage type equalizer that can be set to be as clean or

overdriven/distorted as you like. It is designed to be very dynamically playable.

Each frequency band has its own gain so it can be set to work as everything from a fairly clean boost,

overdrive or distortion. Each band can also be completely turned off.

It is a pure analog module built on JFET technology to get a sound similar to a tube amp design, or like 4

parallel tube amps. Only transistors, capacitors and resistors in the distortion part of the module. No clipping

OP-Amps or diodes. Old school design.

The benefits of the multi band approach is that you don't get a sound that just clogges up the lower mid

range when you turn up the distortion. You can still control the low end and not lose the fat bottom of your

sound. You could also decide to let through some of the high end relatively unaffected to still have the

snappy transients that heavy distortion otherwise would compress away.

It has a CV or manual controllable on/off that is eqipped with a super fast switch and an evaluating circuit

that waits until it can do a glitch free switch. This means that it waits from instantaious switching to max

50ms, sometime during that time it will be the perfect time to switch.

This built in evaluating circuit switch control opens up for some unique types of sounds when controlled at

audio rate.

Controls

In

Erurorack level input.

If the Gain LED lights up with just something connected to In, don't bother. It

can take 10V signals without internal clipping in the wrong part of the

module. The use of the Gain LED is described under Hi-Z.

In and Hi-Z are mixed in the module and can be used at the same time.

Hi-Z

High impedance input for guitar, bass and other low level signals.

Can also be used to bring line level signals like normal synths to eurorack

level.

To check the aproptiate level of a line device in to Hi-Z. Set the Gain knob to

max. If the Gain LED lights up turn down the outupt of your line level device

till the LED isn't lit. This is to check that you don't get distortion in the Hi-Z

pre-amp and theirby loose the benefits of having a multiband distortion.

The Hi-Z input behaves like a tube pre-amp and will color the sound a bit if

you drive it hard. This means that a bit of compression will happen here.

So if you connect a guitar then the sound will be nice and useful even in

clean bypass mode as you get some compression of the transients and that

way the sound will appear natural.

Gain

The overall gain in to the multiband distortion section.

You can set the balance of the distorted bands and just set how hard you

drive all of them with the Gain knob.
