Monsoon features sliders for the four main controls with bipolar leds to give visual feedback of the cv amount, and four pots with cv inputs for the different effect parameters (wet/dry – stereo width – feedback – reverb amount) that were only accessible with repeated button pushes on the original.

Redesign by Jakplugg Open Source from a concept by Pusherman’s Philip Wise.

All SMD is factory mounted.
