Expanding on the idea of running reverb into distortion, the Decay Cascade can produce lo-fi subtlety or slabs of disintegrated noise. Or both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDial in reverb ranging from a light bounce to saturated drones, with a maximum decay time of about 20 seconds. The reverb mix is sent to a versatile drive circuit with a voltage sag gate for extra deterioration. Combine dry, reverb, and distorted reverb layers into your desired textural mix. This then passes through a preamp stage inspired by 1960s test amplifiers that can add another boost of raw gain and crackling gated tails, with an optional low pass filter. Add a little dust and murk, or create the sound of amp death. Thankfully, there is a volume control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMake sounds like:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLayers of distorted and clean reverb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTastefully gritty lo-fi echo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpitty, dying battery overdrive or fuzz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 78 record found buried in the woods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Something’s not right\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarsh-ambient signal obliteration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEspecially suited for broken sounds with gated and dusty reverb artifacts.
