A-124 Wasp Filter SE : Great gnarly filter

3 years ago

This is definitely a filter with attitude.

With resonance at 70% and up, it's showing its character by adding something new to the signal. I don't even know how to describe it... distortion? It's a very specific one. It's not nasty, it's musical in its own way.

The lower the resonance, the less character it has, so it doesn't need to be used as a gnarly filter all the time.

I didn't push it yet with a high input signal to see what would happen.

My only criticism is that the knobs are stiff, which makes fast tweaking harder in comparison to other filters. It's still possible though. It just requires more energy if you want to tweak it like a 303 filter (which means all the time).
