Frequently Asked Questions - Kith Ruina Noise Engineering
What is the Noise Engineering Kith Ruina?
It is a dual-channel distortion and waveshaper module designed for Eurorack modular synthesizers, offering gritty, aggressive distortion with independent control over Drive, Level, and Tone.
How do I power the Kith Ruina?
Connect the included 10-pin ribbon cable to your Eurorack power bus, ensuring the red stripe is aligned with the -12V pin on both the module and the busboard. Double-check polarity before powering up.
Is the Kith Ruina stereo?
No, it is dual mono. It has two independent identical channels, each with its own input and output, allowing you to process two separate signals simultaneously.
Can I use the Kith Ruina with guitar or other line-level devices?
Yes, but you may need to adjust the input level. The module expects Eurorack modular levels (typically 10Vpp), so use a preamp or attenuator to bring guitar signals up to that range for optimal effect.
Does the Kith Ruina have CV control inputs?
Yes, it has two CV inputs—one for controlling the Drive and one for the Level. These accept voltages typically in the range of -5V to +5V, allowing dynamic modulation.
What is the current draw of the Kith Ruina?
The module draws approximately +12V: 40 mA and -12V: 20 mA. Ensure your power supply has sufficient headroom to handle this.
How should I clean the Kith Ruina?
Use a dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the faceplate and jacks. Do not use water, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish or electronic components.
Can the Kith Ruina be used as a guitar pedal?
It is not designed for direct guitar pedal use, as it expects modular-level signals and uses 3.5mm jacks. You could route a guitar through a preamp and then into the module, but it is not a standalone pedal.
What jacks and cables does the Kith Ruina use?
It uses standard 3.5mm mono jacks for audio and CV inputs/outputs. Use high-quality patch cables specifically for Eurorack systems.
Is the Kith Ruina able to produce clean tones, or is it always distorted?
It is primarily a distortion module, but with the Drive control set to minimum and Tone set to neutral, it can pass a relatively clean signal at low levels, though some coloration is expected. For fully clean amplification, consider a dedicated linear VCA.
