OVERVIEW
The Intellijel Amps is a versatile dual channel linear VCA. It features cascaded CV inputs and
cascaded mix outputs allowing it to be used in a number of versatile configurations. A boost switch
enables you to amplify each VCA’s input by either +6dB or +20dB — ideal for boosting low level
signals or pleasingly overdriving audio. The addition of a phase inversion switch for the second
channel allows Amps to function as a ring modulator. The CV normalization, with ability to invert and
offset, also allows for VC-Crossfader functionality.
Features
● Manual LEVEL slider per VCA — convenient when using the module as a mixer, or for biasing
the signal for CV (such as when modulating the VCA with a bipolar LFO).
● Dedicated CV attenuators with dual color LEDs for monitoring bipolar CV signals.
● Linear response curve.
● Input and CV normalling of VCA A to VCA B to allow a single source to feed and/or control both
VCAs.
● Output normalling of VCA A to VCA B to allow both VCAs to feed a single output.
● Each VCA has a boost switch that can increase the output level by either +6dB or +20dB.
● Phase Invert switch on VCA B allows for ring modulation capabilities.
● CV Invert switch on both VCAs allows for crossfading one signal into another.
● 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.
