The PLASMA Drive distorts audio signal by transforming it into visible high voltage electric discharge in a xenon tube. It is the PLASMA Pedals sound in eurorack format.
The HIGH VOLTAGE DISTORTION offers a very wide frequency spectrum making it perfect with bass lines and synth pads. The naturally occurring noise gate effect reduces the distortion decay depending on where the VOLTAGE knob is set. This combined with the DRY/WET mix knob makes the PLASMA Drive perfect for drum machines and noise tracks. It interacts with the dynamics of the input signal. The EQ section can be applied to both the dry and wet or only the wet signal. The PLASMA Drive features octave up and down tracking oscillators for gritty sonic experimentation.
- Control over the intensity of distortion with CV inputs for VOLTAGE and DRY/WET blend;
- Add rich textures with octave up, down and sub tracking oscillators with CV triggers;
- Extended control over gain with separate VOLTAGE and INPUT LEVEL controls. Experimentation with both of them extends the available distortion nuances.
We designed the PLASMA Drive eurorack module in collaboration with our friends and eurorack visionaries ERICA SYNTHS.

Power supply is not included. Plasma Drive uses conventional eurorack PSU ribbon cable of ±12VDC, 300mA (positive rail 200 mA, negative rail 100 mA).
The expected life of the xenon tube is 10,000 to 70,000 hours of active playing. The xenon tube is replaceable.
