eowave Germania 241 MkII VCA

Eowave Germania 241 – Voltage-Controlled Germanium Transistor Amplifier

The Germania 241 is a voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA) built around rare germanium transistors, delivering rich analog character and smooth, musically pleasing distortion. Designed to simulate a sonic journey across the asteroid Germania 241, this module adds vintage warmth and unpredictability to your modular signal chain.

At its core, Germania 241 features an audio input and gain stage, controllable both manually and via two CV inputs. One CV channel includes an attenuator, allowing for fine-tuned dynamic control. As the gain increases, the germanium circuitry responds with creamy saturation and subtle fuzz — a distinctly analog flavor that’s hard to replicate digitally.

An output level control lets you tame the final signal, keeping distortion in check or pushing it further depending on your creative intent. Because the germanium transistors are in limited supply, each module may sound slightly different — giving each Germania 241 its own unique sonic character.

Whether you're after vintage-style drive, gentle saturation, or gritty gain staging, the Germania 241 brings old-school color and control to your rack.
