Manufacturer's description
Channel Surfer (CHNL SRFR) is a 4HP eurorack channel strip module (EQ, Filter, Ducking, DJ Effects) for use with individual voices, submixes, or full program material. It can be used in mono or stereo and can be connected to the Performance Mixer MkII Insert header with a ribbon cable for seamless integration, or to the front jacks for independent use.
Three modules in one
At the top of the module, a three-way switch lets you choose between three sets of controls, combining three processors into a compact 4HP package. The shift button doubles the number of controls, giving you access to the more 'set and forget' parameters.
EQ: With the switch to the left, you have direct control over a 3-band parametric EQ with boost and cut. The shift functions let you sweep the frequency of each band to shape the incoming signal to your liking.
FILTER: With the switch in the center, you have access to the filter section, which includes a low pass filter, high pass filter, and filter drive. Use these to add character to a sound, fit a busy signal into the mix, or create movement and dynamics through filtering.
EFFECTS + DUCKER: With the switch to the right, the interface controls the effects section and sidechain ducker. Add performance effects like dub delay, chorus, flanger, reverb, and more. Mult your kick or any other signal into the SC input to duck the signal running through the Channel Surfer with a fixed, no-click attack, and control the amount of ducking with the lower knob. Its shift control sets the release envelope.
All three sections of the module are active at all times but can be made transparent. The signal path can be bypassed with the I/O button. The signal path is serial, starting at the EQ, then running through the filters, FX, and finally the ducker.
Visual feedback, extended control
Channel Surfer has an intuitive layout and interface. The LEDs match the color of the labels on the panel, reminding you which set of controls you are currently using. The LED bar on the right acts as an overall VU meter, and switches to display the value of whichever knob is currently being turned. An assignable CV input adds further movement or external control, providing instant access to a parameter at any time regardless of where the interface switch is set.
Built for live performance
Three sets of controls keep the module compact while exposing only what you need to tweak live and in the moment, letting you save space in your system by replacing multiple modules dedicated to mixing and processing. For example, set the EQ, dial in the ducker, add effects, and leave the switch in the filter section for hands-on tone shaping.
Presets
Save and recall settings to any of nine slots. Settings can be morphed through with CV.

How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK, 'next working day' shipping is free to most parts of the UK if the order value is over £150, and £5 otherwise. We can also ship on a 'next working day before 12pm' service, which costs £6 for orders over £150 and £7.50 for orders under £150.
Certain areas of the UK, including the Scottish Highlands and Islands, Northern Ireland and other offshore islands, may have higher shipping charges and slightly longer delivery times due to surcharges applied by the courier and reduced service availability in those areas. We try to keep these costs to a minimum.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of DPD and Royal Mail for the UK, and for international orders it's either DPD, DHL, FedEx, UPS or Royal Mail depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 16:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
Please note that 'next day' delivery is an aim, not a guarantee. The vast majority of orders shipped on a 'next day' service do arrive the next day, but occasionally couriers experience unforeseen delays due to weather or traffic conditions etc.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes the couriers may come to collect a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Saturday/Sunday delivery
If you're in the UK and you order before 16:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday or Sunday delivery with DPD. This is FREE for order values over £350, £5 for order values between £75 and £250, and £7 for order values under £75. (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). Please note that any orders placed after 16:00 on a Friday will ship on the Monday.
International shipping times
Most orders are delivered within 3 to 5 working days if sent on a courier service. Royal Mail services can take a lot longer and are often less secure.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
