intellijel AMPS-3U Overview

Shape your audio and CV signals with the intellijel Amp, a dual multifunction and chainable voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA) in Eurorack format. Amps utilizes two precision linear VCAs that have been carefully designed to offer a wealth of flexibility and additional functionality. The front-panel controls and signal normals allow these two VCAs to be configured to function as: line level boosters, crossfaders, ring modulators, mixers, and much more. They can also be chained together with other Amps modules by way of an included cable to form larger, more complex systems.

Amps features cascaded CV inputs and cascaded mix outputs, allowing it to be used in a number of versatile configurations. A Boost switch enables you to amplify each VCA's input by either +6 or +20 dB, which is ideal for boosting low-amplitude signals or pleasingly overdriving audio. A phase-inversion switch for the second channel allows Amps to function as a ring modulator. The CV normalization, which can also be inverted and offset, also allows for VC-Crossfader functionality. The module includes a power ribbon cable.

At a Glance

Manual LEVEL slider per VCA�convenient when using the module as a mixer or for biasing the signal for CV (such as when modulating the VCA with a bipolar LFO)
Dedicated CV attenuators with dual-color LEDs for monitoring bipolar CV signals
Linear response curve
Input and CV normalling of VCA A to VCA B to allow a single source to feed and/or control both VCAs
Output normalling of VCA A to VCA B to allow both VCAs to feed a single output
Each VCA has a boost switch that can increase the output level by either +6 or +20 dB
Phase Invert switch on VCA B allows for ring modulation capabilities
CV Invert switch on both VCAs allows for crossfading one signal into another
4-pin link connectors on the rear panel allow for multiple AMPS modules to be chained together to create a 4-channel, 6-channel mixer, etc.
