Dreadbox KINEMATIC Compressor / Filter

Kinematic is a Greek based word (Κίνημα), which describes motion - of points, bodies or systems of bodies, without the consideration of the forces that cause them to move.

The Dreadbox KINEMATIC is a VCA based Compressor and an Envelope Filter effect pedal suitable for fretted instruments and synthesizers, with eurorack compatibility. This is not all however - KINEMATIC features an integrated drive circuit that can add soft overdrive up to big, fat distortion to your sound. The Envelope Filter provides a slow envelope curve that can be used as Auto Wah or Low Pass Filter, while the Compressor offers a substantial level boost in addition to providing soft to limiting brickwall-style compression. Its three patch points grant CV control over the Filter and Level knobs and provide you with an EG output, making the KINEMATIC a perfect device for synth fans.
