An analog VCA and amplitude modulator that offers two distinct personalities. In classic mode, it functions as a traditional VCA with manual gain control and CV shaping. Flip the switch, and it transforms—allowing negative CV to invert the signal, unlocking AM and ring modulation-style effects for richer harmonic complexity. A bi-polar LED glows red or blue to indicate signal polarity, making modulation behavior visible at a glance. Hand-built and available as a DIY kit or fully assembled, Caduceus is a versatile tool for dynamic mixing, sculpted motion, or aggressive timbral experimentation.
