FILTERS? Build a simple DIY passive electronic low pass filter.

[@wickeddubz]

If you made strange analog machine and play your music on it, it will be awesome. DIY is joy, DIY is fun. One does not simply quit DIY :)

[@MrGeoffashley]

HAINBACH would running tapes though diy filters work?? I saw AMULETS run walkmans through Clouds and was wondering if that would still work with diy or does it have to be eurorack?? I want to start working with modular, tapes, and minidisc. I have a Tascam 414 on the way (after seeing it used the way Alessandro Cortini, AMULETS, and yourself use it) and a pair of minidiscs (after seeing your tricks on minidisc recording I looked up and found a pair of SHARP 702’s...the exact and only minidisc player I had in the 90’s...for an absolute steal!!). Also, side question: do diy modules work with vcv??

[@DecibelAlex]

ofc, you can filter any audio signal

that's one of my favourite videos on youtube. I'm laughing my ass off at the lemon squeezy sound in the beginning, the I-got-lemon-in-my-eye part and mr. ozzy the oscilator. I actually built the guitar tone pot filter with shitty parts from a broken guitar and a cheap soldering iron after watching this. it sounds horrible, but it works. I might choose building stuff as a career cause most career options society offers suck anyways. thanks man, you give me inspiraion and motivation.

QUESTION about 2nd order RC filter! As you probably know, in order to increase the slope of the filter, you have to put 2 RC filters in series. In this situation, how do I control cutoff with 1 potentiometer? Do I have to control both resistances at the same time?

[@jeremypicard6245]

You are a fucking genius. I really love your works!

[@TheSimonarne]

is it better to have a larger capacitor or a larger potentiometer when buildning a rc low pass filter?

[@bampm3887]

I know I can flip the resistor and cap to make it into a high pass filter, how would that look in this example with the pot

[@jimkerak6404]

the low pass has the cap between the middle pin and GND. for a high pass you'd instead put the cap between the Vin and the input of the pot. so the signal goes "through" the cap. www.amplifiedparts.com/tech-articles/filter-low-pass-high-pass

[@johnnyspace8]

@@jimkerak6404 I would also like to make this In a high pass version. Are you saying the in from the jack socket goes to capacitor then from capacitor to input of the 10k pot then to the out?

[@x-odeproject9161]

Can you explain how to add resonance filter on this pls ?

[@NoirEater]

He made those lemons scream :c those poor lemons!

[@EarJuice]

Yeah using the IC chips is much better sound I found. At least this works somewhat. The reverse transistor oscillator is not a good idea at all when IC chips will make a better sound, are easier to wire and will actually work when you wire them correctly rather than maybe working. I would recommend finding the IC chip for the filter and using that instead.

[@bendeguzrendes6937]

What kind of LED you recommend? Because mine is not that bright and not triggering that much on the filter :/ or you used something to amplify the lfo?

[@Arsonomega]

This remindes me of a show from the 90's. dont know if its on purpose or not, but brilliant nonetheless.

best series! MOAR PLZ!

[@searchiemusic]

currently am working on maybe 4-8 of these for use with a mixer as an insert, so far using just one seems to be fine, hasn't broken anything so far, though it does seem like i'd need to add a buffer if I want to add both a low and high pass, which is annoying but doable all things considered, just want to make sure these wouldn't hurt my mixer being used with a ring/tip insert, I don't think so but better to ask if anyone knows better than I do, yes I am aware it won't sound that great too its more a better than nothing, and I just want a subtle lowpass, and first order seems more than enough for my needs, which is basically like rounding off guitar and distorted bits

[@PeterLustig-gp8zx]

I wired it exactly as in the video, but the potentiometer only acts as kind of a volume knob - it does NOT control the cutoff frequency... If I use a 10k pot and a 100nf ceramic capacitor, the capacitor also does absolutely nothing. When using a 100uf electrolytic capacitor, the high frequencies are cut but the knob also just controls the volume?! Can anybody help me, I do not find the problem...

[@stoneddiplodocus7247]

I don't get it too, did you solve the enigma ?

[@PeterLustig-gp8zx]

Stoned Diplodocus no.. absolutely no clue..

[@kunkmaster79]

@ Peter Lustig : Im not completly sure but if you look closely, @3:53 it seems that the leg of that capacitator is soldered to the middle pin of the poti not like in that "schematic". Will try it out myself today cause i have the same issue with that circuit.

[@PeterLustig-gp8zx]

@ Kulken : I also tried that I guess - but without success. :/ hope anybody can help us...

[@MilesBeneathMyBrain]

Here we have a badass in his natural habitat ladies and gents.

[@DannySebahar]

on your "schematic" of the filter you have what looks like a ground next to the input. I have fixed the tone knob in my guitar before in the capacitor is grounded to the top of shin geometer could this conceivably also work. having in the capacitors pins solder to the middle pin of the potentiometer and then grounded to the top of the potentiometer and having the two ground wires of the output and input solder to the top of the potentiometer as well?

[@arielvinda6624]

Bro, I love your crazyness, your videos are amazing!

[@user-kp4ik6qd6f]

can i use a mosfet instead of a vactrol?

[@nannosimonis3874]

I found that mine only worked when the sound (the plus cable) would go in in one of the side pins and come out through the middle one. Then this middle one would also be connected to the ground with the capacitor.
