They've been around for a while. No one really speaks much of their stuff - I assume it's probably a distribution problem. They're based in Poland and probably don't get their stuff too far out distribution-wise so there's not a lot of samples out there.
The very few reviews I've seen seem to speak highly of their stuff. I was interested in their pre-amp. It's got very accurate and repeatable gain, along with three different curves for the LPF, and also saturation. Wish I could find samples.
It looks like, as of late, the Poles are really putting out some great ideas. IGS, Bettermaker, WesAudio, Looptrotter. They're all trying crazy stuff and putting some interesting things out there. Bettermaker and WesAudio are leading the pack with digital integration with Analog.
The circuit looks nice and clean. I just wonder what all that black goop is on the circuit board - that kind of freaks me out a bit.

Frank There was a Youtube link on their page for the SA2RATE and I could clearly hear it working, and I liked it. The black goop is epoxy. Usually it's to keep part of the design a secret, but it could also help for heat conduction or other things, but I'd bet that it's obscuring some part of the circuit they don't want copied. As far as I could tell, they use a FET compression circuit as the limiting device, rounding off the signal for THD increase, which is probably what's under the glue. |
