Frequently Asked Questions

The S/P switch toggles between sine and pulse wave filter characteristics, significantly altering the filter’s timbre and harmonic content – sine is smoother, pulse is more aggressive.
The resonance control can quickly become intense; it’s best used with caution and a good understanding of your amplifier's feedback tendencies.
While designed with the MS-20 in mind, the Tars works well with guitars; however, the filter’s character really shines when paired with the richer harmonic content of a synthesizer.
