Grendel Drone Commander
With a total of 9 knobs, the Grendel Drone Commander offers two manually-tuned oscillators and two LFOs, plus an unusually colorful and nasty filter. LFO1 is an analog variable-shape oscillator, and LFO2 is a pulse waveform that auto-synchronizes to LFO1 at a ratio of 2x, 4x, 8x, or 16x. Both LFOs can be routed to the filter for rhythmic patterns. Six of the Drone Commander's nine knobs double as push-pull switches to control signal routing and waveform selection. A line-level output jack is provided for connection to amplifiers or effects plus there's outputs for control voltage in (controls the filter effect) and clock out for cascading other devices. The Drone Commander is housed in a military ammunition case with engraved aluminum control panel. The case is welded steel with an easily removable, rubber gasketed lid. There is almost no plastic in the Drone Commander! The unit is powered by a 9-volt battery accessible through a slide-out drawer in the side or a standard 9-volt DC power adapter (included).

- First sorry for my English.
Incredible machine. Eric Archer is a genius. Resonant, dark or bright,
hard or soft sound, lirical or techno-like character.....what you want,
very musical. It is the new guy in my one man band. And very easy to
understand. - Good Points: It´s a great background for my music. I play it like an instrument.
Solid construction, cool. - Bad Points: Maybe the Clock sync.... an standard midi clock would be fine to sync
it with my looper, drum machine, etc. The clock pulse (at high pulse
settings) is very slow for my drum machine but enough for my other
Eric Archer devices.... this is the limit... or maybe the begining ;D - Price Paid: US$360.00
- Purchased At: Eric Archer direct
