OhmForce Ohmicide Eurorack turns a classic distortion plugin into a versatile module that specializes in the art of obliterating your signal beyond recognition. The legendary plugin developer is set to unveil its first hardware module at Superbooth 24 in Berlin.
OhmForce Ohmicide Eurorack
In an unexpected move, OhmForce delivers one of the first big surprises of Superbooth 24. The French plugin developer – most of you will remember classics like Frohmage, Hematohm, and Ohmboyz (most of which are now free, by the way) – has turned the Ohmicide distortion plugin into a Eurorack module. Get ready for 111 destructive algorithms that’ll turn your signals into a pile of rubble!
The stereo module offers a choice of 37 distortion types ranging from waveshaping and wavefolding to saturation, overdrive, fuzz, and bit crushing to all sorts of wacky stuff like a fridge emulation. Each mode then offers three variants to choose from with the Fam switch. Type and Fam are both CV-controllable. The effect of the Mod control and CV input depends on the selected mode.
While the plugin splits the signal into four frequency bands, OhmForce has changed the routing in the module to make it more usable in a Eurorack context. The Xover knob divides the signal into two bands, the lower of which remains unaffected by the distortion. This helps to maintain a defined bass range. Xover is also CV-controllable.
Moreover, Ohmicide Eurorack offers pre- and post-distortion lowpass filters for additional tone shaping options. Is OhmForce’s first effort in the world of Eurorack one of the most versatile distortion plugins? It must be a strong contender!
