Everything happens on our Discord server — sessions, chat, support. Click here to join. You'll need to verify your age (18+) before accessing channels.
Get Your Gear Ready
You need an e-stim power box (like an E-Stim Systems 2B or DG-Lab Coyote) and a way to route audio to it. Most sessions use your device's audio output as the stim signal. Check our Recommended Gear page.
Set Up Audio Routing
For live sessions and the Stimbot, the e-stim signal comes through your browser or Discord audio. Set your e-stim box to receive audio from your PC/phone. The e l e c t r o n guide below covers this in detail.
Try the 24/7 Stimbot
Jump into the #Auto Driving channel anytime — the Stimbot is always running. It's the easiest way to test your setup and get your first ride. See the Stimbot guide for details.

e l e c t r o n Beginner's Guide
e l e c t r o n is a browser-based e-stim signal generator used for live driving sessions. This guide explains its core parameters so you can understand what your driver is doing — and start experimenting yourself.
Getting Started: Volume Setup
Before anything else, set your levels safely:
- Set e l e c t r o n Volume to 50%.
- Set your power box's input level to medium (e.g. MA to 10 o'clock on a 312).
- Set your computer/device volume to a low number.
- Slowly raise the computer volume until you feel the waves. This gives you a safe baseline for future sessions.
Important: Always use the Ramp function when changing volume during a session. Never make sudden jumps. A rate of no more than 1.0%/sec is recommended — for example, ramping from 50% to 60% at 0.5%/sec takes 20 seconds.
Core Parameters
Basic Frequency
This is the primary carrier frequency — the fundamental "feeling" of the signal. Higher frequencies tend to feel more buzzy and surface-level; lower frequencies feel deeper and thudding. A good starting point is around 800 Hz. Explore the 400–1200 Hz range to find what you prefer.
Amplitude Modulation (AM)
AM makes the signal rhythmically louder and softer over time — like a tremolo effect. There are three AM settings:
- A.M. Depth — How much the volume varies. If volume is 50 and A.M. Depth is 20, the signal pulses between 30% and 70%.
- A.M. Frequency — The speed of the pulse. 1 Hz = one wave per second. Slow (under 1 Hz) gives deep, edging sensations. 2–3 Hz feels like fast throbbing. Above ~10 Hz is unlikely to be felt distinctly.
- A.M. Type — The shape of the pulse curve. Sine is the smoothest. Square is a hard ON/OFF toggle. Sawtooth and Triangle can feel prickly or ticklish.
Frequency Modulation (FM)
FM varies the pitch of the signal up and down — like a vibrato effect. This is what drives the DG-Lab Coyote via XToys.
- F.M. Depth — The range of pitch variation. If Frequency is 880 Hz and F.M. Depth is 30 Hz, the signal sweeps between 850 Hz and 910 Hz.
- F.M. Frequency — The speed of the sweep. Same scale as A.M. Frequency.

Accessing the Media Library
To maintain a clean channel list, access to our extensive NSFW picture and video channels is opt-in.
How to Get Your Library Card
- Go to the
#role-selectchannel on Discord. - Find the "Library Card - Access XXX Channels" message.
- React to the message with the 📼 emoji.
- You will be granted the
@Library Cardrole and all NSFW channels will become visible.
Using the 24/7 Stimbot
Our Stimbots stream an audio signal directly into a voice channel 24/7 for you to enjoy. Here's how to connect.
Setup Instructions
- Go to your Discord User Settings (the gear icon ⚙️ next to your name).
- Navigate to the Voice & Video tab.
- Find the Output Device setting and use the dropdown menu to select the sound device that your power box is connected to.
- Close settings and join the
#Auto Drivingvoice channel. - You can now adjust the Stimbot's volume using the volume slider in Discord, and then slowly turn up the levels on your power box.
Important Notes
- REMEMBER: When you are finished, you must go back to your Discord Voice & Video settings and change your Output Device back to your headphones or speakers. Otherwise, you won't hear anyone speaking in other channels.
- You cannot speak in the Auto Driving channel. This is by design to ensure the bot's signal is clean for everyone.
- Cameras are welcome, and you can communicate with fellow riders using the text chat attached to the voice channel.
- This method works on mobile devices as long as you can route your phone's audio output to your stim box.
Playing in The Arcade
The Arcade is a voice channel where members share stim-compatible content via screen share. The stim signal is broadcast through Discord's audio — riders receive it just like Auto Driving, by routing Discord's output to their power box.
How The Arcade Works
A host shares their screen and enables "Share Stream Audio" in Discord. Whatever audio their software outputs gets broadcast live to the channel — riders receive it by swapping their Discord output device to their power box, exactly as with Auto Driving.
Hosts can use whatever method works for them. Popular options include:
- XToys — connects to compatible games and outputs a stim signal based on in-game events
- Milinova — a dedicated e-stim game with built-in signal output
- Restim and other Funscript players — play back scripted stim patterns synced to video or audio
- Any software that outputs a stim signal as audio can be shared this way
Key difference from Auto Driving: Arcade signals react to what's happening in real time — game events, script timing, or interactive triggers. It's dynamic and unpredictable in the best way.
Rider Setup (Receiving the Signal)
As a rider, setup is identical to the Auto Driving channel:
- Open Discord User Settings → Voice & Video.
- Under Output Device, select the audio device your power box is connected to.
- Join
#The Arcadevoice channel. - Click on the host's stream to receive both the video and the stim signal.
- Slowly increase the volume on your power box to a comfortable level.
- When done, remember to switch your output device back to your headphones/speakers.
Host Setup (Running a Session)
Hosting works the same regardless of which software you're using:
- Join
#The Arcadevoice channel. - Use the Share Screen function in Discord on your game or stim software.
- Make sure to check "Share Stream Audio" — this is what carries the stim signal to riders.
- Start your session. The audio output will be broadcast live to everyone in the channel.
Not sure what to run? Ask in the server's text channels — the community is happy to recommend tools and titles. Check the #The Arcade events tab for upcoming hosted sessions too.
Connecting a DG-Lab Coyote
There are now two ways to connect your Coyote to e l e c t r o n. Both are valid — pick whichever suits your setup.
Direct Bluetooth via e l e c t r o n
No extra software. Hit Enable Coyote BT on the e l e c t r o n player page, pair your Coyote, and ride. Works on Chrome (desktop) and Bluefy (iOS).
Full setup guide →Audio Bridge through XToys
Routes e l e c t r o n's audio output through XToys to the Coyote. Some riders report smoother signal transitions with this method — good if Direct BT feels too raw.
See guide below ↓XToys Method — Windows Guide
- Use Google Chrome as your browser for both e l e c t r o n and XToys.
- Open e l e c t r o n in one browser tab.
- Open XToys in another tab with a layout that includes a DG-Lab Coyote block.
- In the XToys Coyote block, click "Select Pattern" and choose "System Audio" from the "My Patterns" tab. Install any plugins XToys prompts you for.
- Note the "Basic Parameters Frequency" and "F.M. Depth" values in e l e c t r o n.
- In XToys, set the "Frequency Map" using this formula:
Low = Frequency - F.M. DepthHigh = Frequency + F.M. Depth
- You must adjust these Low and High values in XToys whenever the driver changes the signal in e l e c t r o n. It's best to coordinate frequency ranges with your driver beforehand. Tip: The VU Meter at the bottom of e l e c t r o n shows live Left and Right channel frequencies — you can read the lowest and highest numbers there in real time to set your XToys range accurately.
Critical Step: Rerouting Sound
You must route your browser's audio output correctly. Type sound settings in the Windows search bar, go to "App volume and device preferences" under Advanced sound options, and manage the volume for Google Chrome. It's recommended to mute System Sounds and other apps to avoid surprises. The application EarTrumpet is a popular alternative for managing app audio.
macOS & Mobile Guide
The process for other systems is largely the same, but you will need a different application to handle audio routing.
Troubleshooting
Antivirus Warning on XToys Utilities
It is a known issue that Windows Defender and other antivirus programs may flag XToys utilities as a trojan. This is a false positive. The tools are flagged because they need to monitor low-level system processes to function correctly. The solution is to temporarily disable your antivirus during the installation of the XToys plugins.
