Frequently Asked Questions
While it’s a recreation, the filter captures much of the original’s character—the resonance sweep and overall tonal richness are quite convincing, though perhaps not quite as refined.
Yes, it’s designed to be 70HP wide and can be integrated into a Eurorack system, providing a full voice with patching capabilities.
The plastic case isn’t as robust as metal, so it’s best suited for studio use or careful handling during gigs; a protective case is recommended.
