The Spectrum is a powerhouse of filter design, offering an almost absurd level of control.

Just be prepared for a learning curve, it’s not a plug-and-play stompbox.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Sense control dynamically adjusts the filter's sensitivity to the input signal, allowing for subtle or dramatic changes based on the incoming audio's intensity.
While it’s designed for stereo, a mono signal will work, but you'll be missing out on the spatial effects and nuanced filtering that the stereo architecture enables.
Analog-buffered bypass preserves your signal's tone more accurately, while relay-switched offers a completely neutral bypass – choose based on your preference for signal integrity versus absolute transparency.
