Dreadbox Psychosis

PSYCHOSIS
6-Channel Stereo Mixer

The Dreadbox Psychosis is a 10HP Eurorack module that functions as a 6-to-1 analog true stereo mixer with built-in digital effects and advanced panning features. It is designed as an end-of-chain backend mixer, accommodating either six mono signals (three left, three right) or three true stereo pairs at unity gain.

Psychosis: originates from the Greek word ψυχή (psykhē), meaning “soul, mind”, and -osis meaning "abnormal condition", is a severe mental disorder, sometimes with physical damage to the brain, marked by a deranged personality and a distorted view of reality.

Features:

• 6-Channel Stereo Mixing for modular systems.
  
• 4 High-Quality Effects: Reverb, Delay, Chorus, Flanger.
  
• SPREAD Control: Unique slider for stereo, mono, or inverted panning.
  
• LFO Modulation: Adds movement to the SPREAD control.
  
• True Stereo Output for immersive sound.
  
• Compact & Power Efficient: 10HP, 75mA (+12V) / 15mA (-12V).

Controls:

1. RATE - Controls the speed of the dedicated internal triangle-wave LFO assigned to modulate the SPREAD function for auto-panning or rotary Leslie speaker simulations.
2. SPREAD - A multi-mode spatial slider that smoothly shifts the stereo image. It continuously transitions from full Stereo to Mono (at its 50% midpoint) to Inverted Stereo (swapping the left and right audio channels).
3. TYPE button - Used to cycle through 4 effects types: Reverb, Delay, Chorus, and Flanger.
4. EFFECT CONTROLS - Built-in parameters dedicated to tweaking the depth, time, or feedback of the active digital effect.

• AMOUNT - REVERB: Mix/ DELAY: Mix and Feedback/ CHORUS: Mix/ FLANGER: Mix and Width
  
• CONTROL - REVERB: Decay/ DELAY: Time/ CHORUS: LFO Rate/ FLANGER: LFO Rate
  

5. MASTER - Controls the final overall output level of the combined, mixed stereo signal before it leaves the module.
