Future Sound Systems TG5: The Gateway to the Gristleizer Sound

The Future Sound Systems TG5 Gristleizer is a high-performance pre-amp module designed to seamlessly integrate external signals—such as guitars, microphones, or line-level instruments—into your Eurorack environment. Based on the original input stage of the Gristleizer, the TG5 provides much more than a simple level boost; it imparts the signature analogue warmth and harmonic saturation that defines the entire series. With an adjustable gain structure, you can subtly amplify signals or push them into heavy clipping for that classic industrial grit.

Key Features:

• Authentic Input Circuitry: Faithfully based on the original Gristleizer input stage.

• High Gain Range: Easily boosts low-level instruments to modular voltage standards.

• Analogue Character: Capable of rich harmonic saturation and aggressive clipping.

• Onboard Envelope Follower: Generates control voltages (CV) derived from the amplitude of the external input.

   

• Versatile Connectivity: Features both 1/4" (6.3mm) and 1/8" (3.5mm) inputs for flexible studio use.

Technical Specifications:

• Width: 8HP

• Depth: 35mm

• Power Draw: +12V: 25mA, -12V: 20mA

• Inputs: 1/4" Mono Jack, 3.5mm Mono Jack

• Outputs: Audio Out, Envelope Follower CV Out
