Manufacturer's description
Warp 1 is a new breed of analogue waveshaper. Rather than being based on the inherent properties of transistors and diodes, it precisely implements a mathematical relationship between input and output, governed by a variable power function.
Like a beam of light travelling through a lens, straight waveform segments are bent into ‘hollow-sounding’ concave or ‘driven-sounding’ convex curves. The degree of curvature is determined by the exponent control, while the scale parameter determines the ‘depth’ of the curving action.
A precision clipper on the output adds adjustable clamping of the positive and negative parts of the waveform. In conjunction with the absolute value switch, this allows Warp 1 to be used as a half or full wave rectifier: useful for limiting CV ranges, or as an audio octave-up effect.
Flipping the mode switch from ‘direct’ into the ‘hyper’ setting exposes Warp 1’s dark side, where its exponent turns negative and the outputs resemble hyperbolic curves. Dual summed inputs, an inverted signal output and a polarity comparator gate output round out Warp 1’s signal processing capabilities.
From subtle timbral colouring to wild hyperbolic distortion, Warp 1 provides a level of control that’s unprecedented in waveshapers, combining meaningful parameters, clear LED indication, complete voltage control and DC to supersonic operation.
Features
- Analogue waveshaper based on power functions.
- Adjustable exponent shapes waveforms from concave, tos traight, to convex.
- Hyper mode shapes incoming signals into hyperbolic-like waveforms.
- Absolute value function for full wave rectifier use.
- Symmetry control for asymmetric waveshaping.
- Precision output clipper with independent negative and positive clipping levels.
- Regular, inverted and polarity comparator impedance-compensated outputs.
- Excellent visual feedback: input voltage, output voltage and clipper status indicator LEDs.
- Precision-milled 2 mm anodised aluminium front panel with high-resolution, non-erasable graphics.
- Bullet-proof design: polarised power header and MOSFET protection circuit.
- Includes 16-to-10-pin Eurorack power ribbon cable.
- Premium mounting hardware: black screws, black nylon washers and matching hex key.
- High-quality components and assembly; designed and made in Belgium.
- Width: 8HP
- Depth: 30mm
- Power: 60 mA +12V / 60 mA -12V / 0 mA 5V
How much is my shipping?
Shipping costs are calculated automatically at checkout. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll see the available shipping options and their prices. VAT at the applicable rate for your country will also be displayed at checkout.
European Union orders:
- Standard shipping is free on orders over €100. Express shipping is available on orders over €100, and free on orders over €400.
Poland orders:
- Standard shipping is free on orders over 250 PLN. Express shipping is free on orders over 500 PLN.
What about local taxes?
By default prices on the site include sales tax at 20%. The precise sales tax rate for your country will be calculated at checkout.
Do you ship to my country?
We ship to all EU member states from our warehouse in Warsaw, Poland. Add an item to your cart and enter your country and postcode to see the available shipping options and prices for your location. If you have any questions about shipping to your country, drop us an email at info@signalsounds.eu and we'll be happy to help.
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.
| Country | Estimated delivery (working days) |
|---|---|
| Austria | 2–3 |
| Belgium | 2 |
| Bulgaria | 4–5 |
| Croatia | 2–4 |
| Cyprus | 10 |
| Czechia | 2–3 |

| Slovakia | 2–3 |
| Slovenia | 2–3 |
| Spain | 4 |
| 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.
