The Pico VCF1 is a fantastic little module for anyone wanting that classic, gritty Polivoks filter sound without the bulk. It's a real workhorse for experimental sound design and adding some edge to your modular patching, especially if you're into darker, industrial textures.
Product Description
- Erica Synths Pico VCF1
- Filter Module
- Similar circuit design of the Black Polivoks filter with Russian NOS operational amplifiers

PROS
- • Authentic Polivoks filter character, surprisingly powerful for its size
- • Russian NOS op-amps deliver a unique, vintage-flavored tone
- • Self-oscillation is clean and usable for wild sound design
- • Compact 3TE module saves precious space in modular setups
CONS
- • Limited filter modes compared to full-sized counterparts
- • Power draw is a bit higher than some other Pico modules
- • Attenuator could benefit from finer resolution for subtle CV control

Frequently Asked Questions
It captures the core sonic character remarkably well, but lacks the broader resonance sweep and additional filter types of the larger module.
It's functional, but the steps are relatively large, making very fine adjustments a bit tricky. It’s better suited for more dramatic cutoff changes.
Yes, it’s designed to operate within standard Eurorack power specifications, so it should integrate seamlessly.
