Elektron Analog Heat +FX - Secondhand

Full Description

Dynamic sound processing - evolved for the digital age

Expanding on the design of the original Analog Heat, this new and enhanced version retains all the powerful functions and controls of the original with new ways to interact and create effects. One of the most prominent new additions is the introduction of the 'Flow' block which allows you to re-order your effects to create your own custom signal flow resulting in unique timbres and tonal character.

The wide range of studio-grade digital effects at your disposal allows you to dial in your sound with maximum precision using the onboard rotary controls. The vast array of digital effects includes everything from classic reverb and delay to warble, compressor and bass focus. Navigating between settings and parameters is made easy with the intuitive control layout and the crisp OLED screen providing instant visual feedback.

The heat block - eight-in-one effects

This powerful stereo analog sound processor features a variety of ways to shape your sound. The eight analog circuits (Eight different effects) have their own unique characteristics. This results in a unique effect for each circuit, ranging from saturation to distortion and everything in between. Clean boost, tape saturation, tube-amp emulation, overdrive, crunch, distortion, harmonic fuzz and high gain are just some of the effects you can achieve.

Integrated filters, EQ and modulation

As well as the circuits, the Analog Heat +FX includes integrated filters, EQ and modulation controls. This adds to your sound-shaping capabilities, giving you added power for processing sounds. Located next to the effects dial is a stereo analog multimode filter, accompanied by a two-band stereo analog EQ. The multimode filter can be used to change the tone and shape of your sound. You can do everything from rolling off the low-end of your sound, to completely changing the style and tone.

For modulation, the processor includes an assignable envelope follower and three LFOs (with two destinates per LFO). These modulation controls each host a range of possible destinations, allowing you to use them to switch other controls and circuits. This gives you a hands-on and in-depth feel for controlling your input sources. Combining the user of the filter and envelope allows you to shape the frequency range to your desire, as well as the amplitude threshold.

Versatile connectivity

The Analog Heat +FX includes a wide range of connection options, allowing you to use this powerful effects processor with external gear. Dual ¼-inch balanced I/O is included for use with synths, controllers and drum machines. It also includes a ¼-inch headphone output for private monitoring of your effects. This can be useful for live performances, allowing you to make A/B comparisons. MIDI In/Out/Thru ports are also included for use with MIDI gear such as keyboard controllers. Additionally, dual CV/expression pedal inputs are included for use with modular gear and external expression pedals.
