Delve into the sonic realms of After Later Audio's FFS Dual Fuzz Channel Module, where fuzz circuits are elevated through an innovative built-in pickup simulator. The module features two distinct sections: the Gnarly section, a wild 7-knob configuration inspired by the fuzz face circuit that challenges users to explore its dynamic range and nuanced sweet spots, and the Oomph section, a bass-friendly variant that enhances low frequency textures. The pickup simulator is a groundbreaking addition, imitating the classic fuzz interaction with guitar pickup coils, and offering a unique signal output to integrate with other fuzz devices. Coupled with thoughtful design elements and experimental potential, this 10hp module is perfect for those eager to push the boundaries of modular synthesis with electrifying fuzz effects.

The article titled "Exploring the Creative Possibilities of After Later Audio's STEPS 1U Eurorack Module: A Random Looping Stepped CV and Burst Generator" highlights the features and capabilities of the STEPS 1U Eurorack Module by After Later Audio. The module offers an internal clock, rate control, burst generator, and random looping stepped CV generator, allowing for the creation of both random and repeating patterns of up to 8 steps. Additionally, multiple STEPS modules can be daisy-chained for even more complex patterns. The article notes that, upon turning on the module, it is important to run it in RAND mode for at least 8 steps to fill the shift register with data. The article also includes a caveat that if a trigger is received off-beat from the internal clock, the first step duration will be shortened.
