Saevitum Filter

Abyss Devices Saevitum

An unstable, gnarly, warm tube VCA distortion with a switchable highpass or lowpass filter—this is the essence of the Saevitum module from Abyss Devices. Saevitum employs a 12AX7 JJ tube with a circuit designed for unearthing the unstable chaos unique to tube-powered equipment. You can customize your sound with a set of trimmers and jumpers on the back of the module, dialing in just how much chaos Saevitum will allow.

The front panel features a window showcasing the tube with a customizable, audio-reactive RGB LED that is wired into the distortion circuit—so the type of color you chose will also adjust the sonic character of the signal. Featuring a two-input mixing section, a unique feedback switch, and the ability to add just the filter to the Dry output (via a jumper), the Saevitum can adapt and thrive in any environment.
