Karacter qube

Build Quality

The karacter 500, just like all our products, is designed, engineered and handcrafted in Germany.

Class-A Topology

Consequently represents the art of discrete signal processing.

Unique Color Filter

This feature changes the harmonics frequency relation with tons of interesting variations. Middle is flat, turn left for more dub and right for more shred.

Dual Mono / Stereo Link

The karacter 500 gives you ultimate flexibility in terms of configuring its channels.

Saturation / Distortion Galore

Mastering grade saturation and a Tube-inspired distortion is under the hood of karacter 500.
