We say...
A wild take on distortion and signal destruction from Blood Cells, with an interesting passive design.
Manufacturer's description
Mangle is a passive audio processor, produced in collaboration with Swedish composer and sound artist VAAAL. It’s perfect for glitches, sliced-and-diced audio obliterations, wrecked distortions, and murky textures. It can be smooth, it can also act like a guillotine for your audio signals.
Rather than using the +/-12V power rails of the eurorack system, Mangle is powered by YOU, and what you choose to insert into the Power Input jack. Run audio into Mangle, then add whatever type and shape of CV you’d like into the PWR In jack. That CV will drive the circuitry and manipulate your audio from wildly overdriven, to voltage-starved and wrecked…and whatever interesting tones lie in-between. You can therefore think of Mangle as a strange (and perhaps brutalist) VCA, where the audio level is manipulated by powering up and down the actual circuitry the audio is passing through.
For extra tweaking, there are two circuits to route audio between: One circuit uses a quality built-in audio chip, the other circuit uses a chip that is user-swappable via the front panel. This second chip can be a source of fresh flavors, and experimentation is definitely encouraged.
Additional features include hard and soft asymmetrical diode clipping, a Bias CV input for further experimentation, a Snuff switch to kill the power to the module for a 100% passive mode, and a Gain switch to really push things into overdrive if needed. There is also a power-through jack for passing the powering-CV out to other adjacent Mangle modules.
Features
- Switch between the built-in circuitry, and a user-swappable chip on the front panel for different flavors.
- Switchable asymmetrical soft/hard clipping.
- Switchable gain.
- Snuff kills incoming power CV for 100% passive mode.
- Bias: Run CV into this at any rate to manipulate even further.
- PWR thru: Passes incoming PWR CV to a downstream Mangle/etc.
- Width: 4HP
- Depth: 15mm
- Power: Power not required

Shipping methods
All EU orders are shipped via UPS. We offer two service levels:
- UPS Standard – our default shipping option. Delivery times vary by country (see estimated delivery times below).
- UPS Express Saver – next business day delivery to most EU destinations.
Each product page shows the estimated delivery time for your location, so you'll always know what to expect before you order.
Estimated delivery times (Standard shipping)
The times below are estimates in working days from dispatch, based on UPS Standard service. Express Saver delivers by the next business day to most destinations.

| Sweden | 3–5 |
These times are estimates and are not guaranteed. Delivery may occasionally take a little longer due to customs processing, local conditions, or carrier delays.
Dispatch times
Orders placed before 15:00 CET (Central European Time) on a working day are normally dispatched the same day. Orders placed after 15:00 CET, or on weekends and public holidays, will be dispatched on the next working day.
If you have an urgent order, please email us at info@signalsounds.eu before placing your order and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch at info@signalsounds.eu if you have questions.
