Cimmerian Caves by Artificial Noise

Cimmerian Caves, the newest product from Artificial Noise, is a dual Echo/Vibrato/Chorus effects unit with Fuzz Distortion.

Dark, warbly and tape-like. Dense modulating echo's bouncing from ear to ear. Thick, wooly tube-like distortion. Definitely NOT a sterile clean delay, but warm and full of character.

When the poet Homer talked of Cimmeria, he called it the land of fog and darkness at the edge of Hades. Artificial Noise has taken those words as inspiration for the Cimmerian Cave effects unit.

In the unit are two Echo “Blocks” that can be either Echo/Delay (approx. 925ms max delay time), Vibrato, Chorus or some combination of the above. Each block can run in parallel and panned Left to Right, making for great Stereophonic effects, or they can be run in series (Echo 1 into Echo 2). Along with the two effects blocks there is also a Fuzz effect, which runs through both blocks. Highly tweakable with 17 knobs and 3 switches. Cimmerian Caves is a hybrid of analog and digital circuitry, utilizing both worlds for maximum effect.

Cimmerian Caves works great with synthesizers or any line level instrument. And yes, it DOES work great with guitar and bass as well.

All sounds recorded direct (using JX-03 and MicroKorg synthesizers), without any additional effects, eq or processing. Only the Cimmerian Caves was used.

Cimmerian Caves - Echo's (JX-03)

All sounds from my modded Kawai K1m desktop synthesizer. Mods include adding a Voltage Controlled 2-pole low pass filter, modeled on the classic Oberhiem SEM filter and an analog LFO with square and triangle waveforms. The original outputs are left intact so it can still be used as normally, or you can mix the filtered output with the original unfiltered output as well. Separate CV input provides external control of the VCF cutoff (eurorack compatible).

Reverb (Soundtoy's Little Plate)has been added throughout.

Cimmerian Caves V2
Echo/Vibrato/Chorus + Fuzz

Dark, warbly and tape-like. Dense modulating echo's. Thick, woolly tube-like distortion. Definitely NOT one of those sterile clean delays, but warm and full of character.

When the poet Homer talked of Cimmeria, he called it the land of fog and darkness at the edge of Hades. Artificial Noise took those words as inspiration for the original Cimmerian Cave effects unit and now the Cimmerian Caves is back! Streamlined and with subtle but important circuit improvements, the Cimmerian Caves V2 gives you the same warm, warbly echo, chorus, vibrato and fuzz as the original but with a more affordable price and a more compact design.

Consisting of a tape-like Echo unit (approx. 925ms max delay time) which, depending on the setting can also be used as Vibrato or Chorus. Along with the Echo effect there is also a thick and woolly Fuzz/distortion. Highly tweak-able with 8 knobs, Cimmerian Caves is a hybrid of analog and digital circuitry. Utilizing a digital delay to get a nice long echo (nearly one full second), with the remaining circuitry all analog, including the Low-Pass filters, modulations and fuzz to create a strange, otherworldly sounding effect.

Along with the standard line level 1/4" inputs and outputs, the Cimmerian Caves V2 also has 1/8" modular inputs and outputs. These allow for the 'hotter' Eurorack signals to be used with the Cimmerian Caves, lowering the input to avoid distortion and raising the output level back to the hotter modular signal.

Cimmerian Caves works great with synthesizers and drum machines, but it also works perfectly well with guitar and bass!

Velvet Dream
12 Stage, 100% Analog Desktop Phase
                        
Velvet Dream is the newest desktop effects unit from Artificial Noise, designed with synthesists and producers in mind. Velvet Dream is a 12 stage analog phase shifter with selectable phases - pick either 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 stages. Each stage has its own character - go from "Classic" 4 stage phaser swoosh to 12 stages of velvety heaven.
                        
The Regen control (Regeneration/Feedback/Resonance) allows you to go from just a subtle shifting, to all the way into swirling psychedelic dreamscape.
                        
 100% Analog with a true bypass switch. Hear the warmth of this vintage style phaser as it sweeps via its wide range LFO. From fast and warbly to a slow, glacial sweep.
