Lacrima Versio

Noise Engineering’s take on the classic autowah, in stereo, and with a twist

Lacrima Versio's roots are in the classic analog autowah pedals, but we don't stop there. LV features an envelope follower that controls a high-resonance filter. Morph the filter between lowpass, bandpass, and highpass slopes, and Lacrima covers all the sounds you’d expect from a typical wah – but this is not your typical wah. Route an adjustable distortion pre, post, or pre+post filter for some saturation crunch. Add width and motion (and just a little otherworldly tone) to your sounds with a stereo chorus. Last but not least, use the Mod parameter to add audio-rate modulation and octavizing to your signal.

Lacrima Versio is part of the Versio stereo DSP platform. A simple USB connection will allow you to update LV to a variety of effects firmwares. Open-source support is available through libDaisy, which allows you to write your own firmware!
