{"product_id":"fz-1-dcf-alm-fizzle-guts","title":"FZ-1 DCF - ALM Fizzle Guts","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eOriginally conceived in 2014 as a limited-run side project by ALM Busy Circuits, the Fizzle guts is one for the heads... Its heart is a repurposed piece of digital-sampling history: the Casio FZ1 filter chip. This specific hardware gives the module a sonic signature that is difficult to replicate, a \"murky,\" lo-fi warmth that can transition from smooth, dark sweeps to aggressive, squelchy resonance in an instant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe module features two independent filter cores (A and B), each equipped with dedicated manual and voltage-controlled resonance and cutoff. Beyond filtering, the Fizzle guts includes a \"DCA\" (Digitally Controlled VCA) for each channel and a dedicated Mix output for summing the two paths. When pushed with high modulation rates, the filter is known for its \"squeaky\" and \"blippy\" artifacts, making it a perfect choice for those who prefer \"weird\" and unpredictable analog textures over clinical precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eWhile the design is now open-source, these specific units have been professionally assembled by a trusted partner to ensure high-quality performance from this classic ALM design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SchneidersKeller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57542965297484,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/3055\/0604\/files\/FZ-1_DCF.png?v=1779960277","url":"https:\/\/www.schneiderskeller.co.uk\/products\/fz-1-dcf-alm-fizzle-guts","provider":"SchneidersKeller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
