Erica Synths Black Hole DSP 2

What a beast

I think this was my first Erica Synths module and I fell in love with that company. All effects are very nice. I use this module in every if my patches. Sounds great in mono but use it in stereo if you want full potential.

Great value!

A supurbly sounding module with a ton of possibilities and features. Highly recommended!

The only caviat I had, I now own two Erica Synths modules that are a bit larger (larger than the pico's) and two times the internal structure of the packaging was not strong enough to withstand shipment. Making the unit loos inside the box. It did not end up damaging anything but that makes me comprehensive about buying even larger and more expensive Erica Synths modules. Which is a shame since I am a big fan.

The effects on this module are all quite nice. The parameters are well chosen and fun to play with. Feeding it a mono signal you can use different delay times on left and right to give the voice some stereo interest.

I usually have this module at the end of the voice, but sometimes I put a filter/VCA after it to clean it up.

The only downside to point out is that only the Chrush input has a built-in attenuator.

Fun effects

Big, but convenient effect processor. Full stereo is nice, effect algorithms can be musical or more creative "eurorack" style.

Much prefer dedicated screen, rather then color-coded LEDs.

CV flexibility is nice. Not overwhelming, but works for me.

Great quality FX but limited CV control

Quality of FX is great but would be if could clock sync the delay.

Fine quality but a little background hum

Overall the quality is nice, with 24 fx settings. However, maybe due to the use of DSP, there is always some background hum.
