Erica Synths Acidbox III
The Erica Synths Acidbox III is a table-top synthesizer module based around Polivoks duophonic synth. Acidbox III by Erica Synths combines a switchable lowpass/bandpass resonant filter, LFO, envelope follower, and divider. With left-right inputs and outputs, it can process stereo signals or add instant width and dimension to a mono source. And if you want to get a little gnarly, drive the input for intense grit and saturation.
Acidbox III is super intuitive, featuring a selectable lowpass or bandpass cutoff knob that simultaneously affects both Polivoks VCF channels, which have intentional, minute variations for interesting harmonic interplay. Underneath the cutoff knob are resonance, mod level, and input level controls. With a little twisting, you can create subtle to ear-splitting sweeps and layers in complex, brain-melting modulations. The unit also includes a fully-featured LFO section — with waveshape selection, speed, shape, depth, and divider/multiplier controls — and an envelope follower with rate and depth controls. So ghostly howls or weird robotic bleeps and bloops are no problem. And a configurable control input gives you the option to bypass the unit via footswitch or use an expression pedal to control cutoff or LFO synchronization. Extremely flexible by design, Acidbox III excels in studio environments and live performance settings.
