P1, Pedal I/O
$150 ($120 + VAT)
The P1 is a dual channel pedal interface. It can be used for pedal or line level in and out or as a guitar or bass input as the pedal in is a high-Z input that will not suck the life out of the tone of your instrument as low impedance inputs can do.
The module is designed to have more than 100kHz bandwidth in both directions to give you a very clean interface with in and out impedance to work well with pedals.
The two halves of the module are independent. You can use it as a dual mono or as a stereo interface.
Eurorack to pedal level is attenuating -18dB and pedal to Eurorack level is amplifying 18dB.
There is soft controlled symmetrical clipping in both directions through the module so if you are driving the inputs hard it will not sound harsh. You can use this as a creative effect.
The unit is AC coupled to be able to isolate your Eurorack from whatever you connect on the pedal side.

Description
Eurorack to pedal
The Eurorack input has a symmetrical soft clipping at +/-10V.
A 5V signal (+14dBV) will give you a -4dBV signal out on the pedal out side (0,6V).
Pedal to Eurorack
The pedal input expects max -4dBV in to give a 5V signal out on the Eurorack side. However, the signal that comes from a pedal, the direct signal from a guitar or some line level equipment may have transients that are higher than this. This even if you are careful about the levels you put into it.
Because of this a limiter with a super soft long knee has been designed into the module so you don’t have to worry about getting harsh distortion on the transients.
The limiter just starts touching the signal slightly at -4dBV in and reaches full compression and symmetrical brick wall limiting with +6dBV in (2V). The output brick wall limits to +/-10V.
The limiter circuit is designed not to touch the signal at all under normal operations, it is there to add protection and maybe a bit of warmth when your signal is above -4dBV in. It can of cause be driven as hard as you like for creative purposes.
