Hello!
This is my MADBEAN Kraken: an envelope filter similar to a Mu-Tron Micro V, but with added controls and a smaller footprint. This is one of my favorite envelope filters out of the handful I've built mainly because of its' reliability- I prefer certain sounds I can get out of my SWAH, but only after a lot of fine-tuning. The Kraken sounds just fine with all knobs at "noon" then can be improved from there with extra tweakery.
Some really solid and useable lead tones can be had when following the Kraken with some sort of Tube Screamer, but the most fun I've had is running the low octave of a Parasit 0415 into the Kraken with the frequency switch set to "Lo.." what a wild relationship- melodies get huge and plucking the muted strings sounds like a robot popping bubbles.
It's built onto a 125B back-plate to work with my modularish stuff- here it is in my wooden box with some neighbors:

Now alone in a "dummy" box:

Thanks for looking!
