+description: "AMA V.2 pairs a gently modulated and oscillating spring reverb with a bit crusher placed after it, a second-generation revision of AC noises' best-selling pedal."
+details: |-
+  AMA is an Italian verb which means "love" in second person imperative (tu, ama! = you, love!). The first version of this effect pedal was released in early 2018 and it quickly became the top seller of the AC noises catalogue. During the consecutive two years, the AMA has been chosen by many alternative, post-rock, shoegaze and ambient artists and it has been featured on the gear encyclopedia "Pedal Crush" in late 2019.
+
+  This new version (simply marked as V.2) is the result of the feedback received from all around the world during the past two years, created for sonic adventurers who love a gently modulated and oscillating spring reverb in front of a bit crusher.
+
+  The AMA V.2 offers up to 4 control parameters for the reverb (OSC, MIX, REVERB and RAMP) and 2 for the re-worked and now more musical bit crusher, which is still placed after the reverb (RESOLUTION and SAMPLE RATE).
+
+  Another new feature offered by this version is an expression input connected to the sample rate, which bypasses the knob and controls the frequency cut using an external expression pedal (10k value recommended).
+specs: |-
+  - OSC: sets how much oscillation is heard on the reverb tail, from none to self-oscillation
+  - MIX: controls the balance between the dry and wet signal
+  - REVERB: controls the decay length
+  - RAMP footswitch: tied to the reverb oscillator, its speed depends on the OSC knob setting
+  - CRUSH toggle switch engages the bit crusher circuit placed after the reverb
+  - RESOLUTION: the amount of the oscillation pulse
+  - SAMPLE RATE: bit crusher internal oscillation frequency
+  - Internal trimmer controls the bit crusher gate
+  - Expression input connected to the sample rate (10k expression pedal recommended)
+  - Switching system: true bypass managed by soft switch and programmed relay
+  - Power: 9V center negative
+  - Current draw: 100mA minimum

+description: "CONTINUA is a stereo dynamic sampler and multi-effect that doesn't just play your sound back: it listens to how you play and reacts in real time, capturing, shaping and transforming your repeats."
+details: |-
+  CONTINUA is a stereo dynamic sampler and multi-effect that doesn't just play your sound back: it listens to how you play and reacts in real time, capturing, shaping and transforming your repeats through a wide range of controls including mix, tempo (TAP function included), pitch, sustain, freeze, glitch, dimension, lo-fi, downsampling, reverb, smear and filter.
+
+  In the meantime, your dry signal can remain completely untouched or be routed through the multi-effect section for further processing.
+
+  Born from the collaboration between AC noises and Andrea Degli Esposti from BunkerNoise, CONTINUA is designed for deep and hands-on interaction. It gives you access to both primary and secondary parameters, allowing you to sculpt your sound with precision. Shape its response by adjusting in-fx, sensibility, threshold, attack, release and stereo spread, or dive into effect-specific controls like lo-fi modulation, reverb decay and more.
+
+  Decide whether your repeats move forward or in reverse, and whether they emerge in full or dissolve into ghostly tails. Also, when things need to break apart, unleash pure chaos with the momentary tilt function.

+description: "RICORDA is a stereo granular reverb with freeze and loop functions, built around a DSP more commonly found in modular synthesizers than effect pedals."
+details: |-
+  Born from the collaboration between AC noises and Andrea Degli Esposti from BunkerNoise, RICORDA is the first stereo unit in AC noises' current catalog. This innovative effect pedal pushes the boundaries of sonic exploration, offering musicians and sound designers a powerful tool for crafting immersive soundscapes.
+
+  At the heart of RICORDA lies an incredibly powerful DSP, more commonly found in modular synthesizers than effect pedals. This advanced processing unit enables RICORDA to provide an extensive array of parameters for sculpting and shaping reverberant spaces. Users can control everything from the density and size of the grains to their feedback and stereo spread, opening up virtually limitless possibilities for sonic experimentation.
+
+  RICORDA's Freeze mode captures a momentary snapshot of the audio signal, sustaining it infinitely. This feature is ideal for creating drones or intricate sonic landscapes. The Loop function offers up to 2 minutes of recording time, with the ability to overdub layers infinitely.
+
+  For maximum flexibility, RICORDA provides a USB-C port for future firmware updates, ensuring that the pedal can evolve alongside the needs of its users.
+specs: |-
+  - Mono/stereo input toggle switch
+  - Reverb controls: mix, decay, size, tone
+  - Granular parameters: mix, number, size, time
+  - Octave selection (0 or +12 semitones)

+description: 'The URLA combines a CMOS fuzz with a synth-based dual resonant filter, an aggressive and experimental pedal named after the Italian verb meaning "scream".'
+details: |-
+  The URLA, named after the Italian verb meaning "scream" in the second person imperative, is a powerful and innovative effects pedal that combines two distinct effects in one unit. This aggressive and experimental device features a CMOS fuzz followed by a synth-based dual resonant filter, offering musicians a unique and versatile tool for sonic exploration.
+
+  Unlike traditional transistor-based fuzz circuits, the CMOS fuzz in the URLA operates on digital logic, producing a square wave output regardless of input. This results in an overdriven, brutal, and glitchy sound with a distinctive gated quality.
+
+  The second stage of the URLA is a faithful replica of the analog filter section from the legendary Korg MS-20 synthesizer. This dual filter consists of a high-pass and low-pass filter connected in series, each with its own controls.
+
+  To fully unlock the URLA's potential, an expression pedal input is provided. This feature allows real-time control of either the high-pass or low-pass filter cutoff, depending on the position of the EXP toggle switch. The expression input is designed to work with any standard expression pedal.
+specs: |-
+  - VOLUME (fuzz): adjusts the output level of the fuzz effect
+  - BLEND: mixes the fuzz sound with the original signal, from almost completely dry to 100% wet, via an analog jFET blend
+  - VOLUME (filter): sets the output level of the dual filter section
+  - CUTOFF: sets the frequency at which the high-pass and low-pass filters begin to attenuate, from 0Hz to 15kHz
+  - PEAK: adjusts the resonance of each filter
+  - EXP toggle switch assigns the expression input to high-pass or low-pass cutoff
+  - Switching system: true bypass managed by soft switch and programmed relay
+  - Power: 9V center negative
+  - Current draw: 100mA minimum
