great filter

[@JonDeth]

Never underestimate the potential of filters, that's for sure. I designed and built a very humble guitar "synth" 15 years ago through guesswork before I had gone to college, but clipping it into a square wave then using a cascade of high-pass and bandpass filters gave me a sound exact to trumpets and saxophones. Truth be told, when I work on electronica that last thing I want to do as a metal shred and sweep player is try to incorporate a guitar and it have traits intact *to reveal the source to listeners.* I should probably build a 2nd generation lol.

I've almost pressed the "buy" button a couple of times, and might be tempted again after hearing this. The only real problem with it is you can buy a complete Wasp clone for about $50 more.

I totally understand. For me, I am in love with the Eurorack format and the flexibility of sending any type of OSC to any type filter run by any gate generator, with plenty of options to cross modulate. I rarely buy standalone. I also know a lot of producers who like to have one standalone synth per function that they can all chain together via MIDI. What is the right thing to buy (if anything needs to be bought at all) really depends on how you like to make music and what your studio looks like!

This filter is amazing and ive got a lot of eurorack filters....

[@TheSoundConvergence]

Yeah! I totally feel the same. There's so much character in that little module

This filter has two lives. At first it is like new and it works as a mediocre filter. Then it breaks and - if you are lucky - it becomes a fantastic distortion and drone machine.
