The natural predecessor to the Plasma Drive, the pedal infused a Tesla coil into a distortion pedal for guitars and basses providing a uniquely elemental crunch for real high voltage rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They both have the same effect on your sound but Erica have brought it to synth racks as part of their Erica Fusion Series. The Plasma Drive module offers CV control over distortion and dry\/wet mix and octave up and 1 and 2 octaves down tracking oscillators to create even more harmonics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Plasma Drive will be released on the 20th February for \u20ac310.
