Frequently Asked Questions

It's a bit less aggressive than the filters found in some of their later models, leaning towards a smoother, warmer low-pass character, but still capable of resonance.
At 1.5 watts, it's very low-powered and won’t be driving any other significant modules; it’s strictly a self-powered unit.
The glide is fairly subtle, more akin to a portamento than a drastic pitch bend; it’s best suited for adding a smooth transition between notes, not extreme sweeps.
