This Erica Synths Black High-Pass Filter is a surprisingly potent little module. It's got a really nice, thick high-pass sound, and the resonance circuit is usable for some wild effects. Perfect for sound designers and experimental electronic musicians wanting a focused, characterful filter in a small package.

Frequently Asked Questions

The overdrive is a fairly straightforward clipping circuit – not super complex, but it adds a welcome layer of grit and warmth when you need it, especially useful for thickening basses or adding aggression to leads.
Yes, the self-oscillation is surprisingly stable and can easily be used to create drones or oscillator-free tones, though careful CV calibration is recommended.
Absolutely. The Black series maintains Erica Synths' reputation for solid, reliable construction – it feels well-built and durable for its size and price point.
