FX-Boy

Befaco FX-Boy is a multi-FX Eurorack module that can change its FX by loading Gameboy Cartridges. Looovely!

Oh FX-Boy, what a module! Befaco has teamed up with well-known Eurorack manufacturers (Touell Skouarn, Instruo, Feedback Modules, XOR, Making Sound Machines, Tesseract) to produce a Eurorack module with seven interchangeable, YES INTERCHANGEABLE(!)…effect cards, each with two different “flavors”. A total of seven cartridges that can be hot-swapped (“hot-swappable”) are included. The base module provides two large controls for the respective effect (X/Y), which are equipped with two dedicated attenuators, and there is also a Dry/Wet control. As a special highlight, the “Game-Changer” has a CV-controllable 4-band EQ that can be routed pre- or post-EQ. A total of nine patch points are available for the various functions.
