The Publison Infernal Machine is a wonderful effects device manufactured by the eponymous French company in the 1980s. It also has a great name! There seems to be an issue on-line about the lack of availability of the manual. Here’s a .pdf copy.

I have many memories of Publison’s owner-inventor demo’ing all day long at AES with a hand-held mic and a heavey accent. “Ziss iss ze Publison Infernal Machine….”.
We (Lexicon) got one in at one point and discovered that all the chip designations had been laboriously dremel’d off on manufacture. Consider they were all 7400-series TTL, it seemed a bit much.

If Publison thought Lexicon might try to reverse-engineer the Infernal Machine, it would have been a simple matter for Publison to make this process difficult to accomplish.
