TouellSkouarn - Ar Merc'het Brao

Product information "TouellSkouarn - Ar Merc'het Brao"

Ar Merc’het Brao combines a pair of resonant −12 dB filters with two overdrive stages in a compact module; its Breton name translates as "The pretty girls." Configurable for stereo or dual-mono operation and crafted with guitarists in mind, each filter features a switchable mode (Low-Pass or High-Pass) and dedicated CV inputs for voltage control of the cutoff. Global cutoff and resonance controls shape both channels together while the overdrives add harmonic grit and saturation, yielding a versatile tone-shaping device that sits comfortably between modular synthesis and guitar-style processing.

Features:
• 2 X Resonant 12 dB slope Filter (High Pass/Low Pass)
• 2 X Classic Overdrives
• Filter Cutoff CV inputs
• Global controls for Cutoff and Resonance
• Stereo and double mono use
• Modular and Guitar friendly

• Assembly, including soldering, is required.
• Proper testing and installation are essential to ensure safe and functional operation.
• The completed module is intended for installation in a Eurorack-compatible synthesizer system powered by ±12V and +5V.
• Use outside this scope may result in malfunction, damage, or safety risks.

General Warnings

Electrical Hazards:
• Ensure the power supply matches the module’s specified voltage and current ratings (refer to the product manual). Incorrect voltage can damage the module and pose a safety risk.
• Never connect or disconnect the module while the Eurorack system is powered on.
• Wrong polarity can damage your module or system. Make sure the module is connected with correct polarity.

Heat Generation:
• The module may generate heat during operation. Ensure proper ventilation within your Eurorack case to prevent overheating.

Sharp Edges:
• The module’s faceplate and components may have sharp edges. Handle with care to avoid cuts or scratches.

Small Parts:
• Contains small parts that could cause a choking hazard. Keep away from children and pets.

Compatibility:
• This module is designed specifically for Eurorack-compatible systems. Connecting it to non-compatible systems may result in damage or malfunction.

Assembly Requirements
• Soldering skills are required to complete the module.
• Ensure a clean, well-lit and ventilated workspace free of flammable materials during assembly.
• Use appropriate tools and safety equipment, such as eye protection.

Testing
