Mattoverse Electronics Unveils Solar Sound Desktop Saturator
Mattoverse Electronics has unveiled a new addition to its solar-powered effects. The Solar Sound Desktop is a transistor-based gain circuit that utilizes a solar panel and picks up where the original Solar Sound left off. The new design is smaller, more affordable, and suited for use as a desktop device instead of on a pedalboard.
“[The Solar Sound Desktop] has been finely tuned to take full advantage of the low current and voltage provided by the solar panel. It’s designed to provide everything from starved and choked gain tones to light overdrive and smooth distortion depending on light level,” they write.
The saturator can be used for distorting bass, guitar, synths, and even drum machines. New features include a clear acrylic top plate with a walnut bottom plate and hardwire true bypass. Its only controls are gain and volume.
The Mattoverse Electronics Solar Sound Desktop has a street price of $79.
