price : $89.00
model 13 mini diy kit: without vactrols
price : $79.00
the m13 mini vactrol lpg is a 4hp adaptation of the plan b model 13 timbral gate. it is currently available as a pre-assembled module with a metalphoto front panel. the m13 mini is a faithful reproduction of the legendary buchla 292 low pass gate with
additional circuitry to improve the bleed associated with lpgs in the amplified eurorack environment. unlike the original timbral gate, the mini has only two operating modes - low pass and combo (vca and low pass mode combined), with the vca mode omitted.
the m13 mini was originally produced as a one-off for the toolbox modular synthesizer used by danny carey on tool performances. this release uses a specific type of vactrol and is therefore limited due to the inability to find them in quantity.
kit modules have black fr4 faceplates with gold graphics and require the purchase of smt 0805, sot23 and soic components. beginning to intermediate smt assembly skills are required.
kit purchase includes a black/gold colored fr4 faceplate, a black colored main pcb, a black colored pot pcb, a 100k linear pot, one blue illuminating latching pushbutton, one davies type 1900h knob, three jacks, three jack washers, all associated pot/jack
mounting hardware and the option of either with or without vactrols. the main board is easily configured for a single vtl5c3/2 dual element or two vtl5c3 single element vactrols.
