The Elysia karacter 500 is a unique and powerful distortion and saturation module for the 500 Series to add character to anything and everything in your mixes. Operate in dual-mono, linked stereo, and even mid-side and mangle your sounds from light tube-like drive to complete shred -- and yes, there's a "Shred" button. The Color control shifts the harmonics around for tons of tonal variation, and onboard Mix controls let you dial the dry sound back in when you want to go completely over the top.
