Intellijel Amps

You can never have enough VCAs, and Amps gives you 2 of them with comprehensive controls for a multitude of scenarios - all in 6HP. In this overview video, Matt highlights the main features of Amps and some interesting use cases, including how to daisy-chain multiple modules.
Chapters:
00:00 - Introduction (you can never have enough VCAs!)
00:34 - Overview: Standard Synth Patch
01:39 - Boost Switch: Distortion & Line Level Boost
02:32 - Normalled connections
03:15 - Amps as a CV controlled crossfader
04:11 - VCA B Phase invert switch: Ring Modulation
05:03 - Daisy-chaining Amps
05:53 - Summary & Multi-Amps Patch
Main Features:
• Manual LEVEL slider per VCA.
• Dedicated CV attenuators with dual color LEDs
• Linear response curve.
• Input and CV normalling of VCA A to VCA B
• Output normalling of VCA A to VCA B
• Boost switch - +6dB or +20dB.
• Phase Invert switch on VCA B
• CV Invert switch on both VCAs
• 4-pin link connectors on the rear panel allow for multiple AMPS modules to be chained together to create a 4-channel mixer; 6-channel mixer; etc.

The layout and labeling of all your modules are so clean, I wish other developers would think as much about user interaction as well as sound quallity. Great new module, but I also realize you can never have enough rack space, and I ran all out...

[@intellijel]

Thanks for noticing and appreciating these details :) And yes the HP struggles can be real for sure.

[@sliceofsparta8985]

Non-intuitive layouts and labeling? Whoever would do that?
*coughmakenoisecough*
Doesn't mean the module isn't good, just adds time to the learning curve. Intellijel would rather music happen faster, and I'm all about it.

[@rayderrich]

@@sliceofsparta8985 I am a simple man, if I can not read the labels, I will not hand over the money. I do not need more roadblocks in my life, but still am all about learning and enjoying.

[@EternalTurtleStudios]

wow! what a versatile dual vca

[@MartinDoudoroffLLC]

Nice design.

[@charlesbronson2806]

Love Intelligel. I just got done playing w my Shapeshifter, my favorite module.

[@macbury18]

I wish MI veils had CV and input normals not just outputs and could normal behind the panel to a second copy like this. when I inevitably need more VCA's amps looks perfect

[@craig_z]

Looks very useful.

[@catscanmeow]

some, people will ask themselves "why get a dual VCA when i can get the quad VCA" and theres nothing wrong with the quadVCA, but sometimes for patching cable ergonomics, having 2 seperate 2-channel vca's spread out over your system, can be better than having one quad vca, because with a quad vca your cables all need to coalesce on that one module. Just something for people to think about, don't sleep on the usefulness of a dual VCA, and how you can spread multiple of them around your rack, you can have clusters of pairs, it might keep cable organization cleaner.

[@rayderrich]

The only good advise for those people is "get both".

[@chris.langill]

Just grabbed one last week :)

[@nathaniel_haefner]

Swapped out my quad VCA for two Amps. I really like to use it for panning effects and the polarity switch makes it very easy.

[@orangenotviolet]

I‘d love to see a nice LPG from Intellijel, they have aready covered a lot of Buchla stuff with the Rubicon and the Quadrax…….

[@intellijel]

It would have to be non-vactrol based if we did. Real vactrols have cadmium in them which is banned in the EU.

[@polymodular]

nice!

[@jonathanyoung6397]

Very nicely thought out module. Lack of normalization of CV inputs on my MI Veils drives crazy, so this is great for stereo sources. The new VCA standard? Yeah probably. Not sure what that little switch in the middle does though?

[@jonathanyoung6397]

Just watched it again and it’s a phase inverter , ignore me

[@nilelses]

I just ordered 3 amps, I'll be replacing my Tallins with these

[@yaveeya2992]

I will buy your tallins.. it's the best vca there is..

[@vinylarchaeologist]

That's a very British-sounding Canadian robot

[@intellijel]

Putting the "British" in "British Columbian" ;)

[@Silkynight]

So , are we going to talk about the fact that this is the second video in less than two weeks that a 1u BLACK panel with wonderfully grey lettering is shown , but no one seem to have noticed? Because my extensive collection of Intellijel modules would love that.

[@intellijel]

Sorry that was an unintentional red herring by Matt. We sometimes make proto panels out of pcbs and that was all this was.

[@lockyp204]

If there was one brand for me to have a complete system of. I reckon I’d choose intellijel

[@HenriDeCarvalho]

1U format ?
