Rides In The Storm SED

compact and sounds great

There is a lot of growling bass available in this low-pass filter. And it can get brilliantly resonant to the point of some screaming self-oscillation. I really like filters that can mix multiple inputs like the 100M series. There are many scenarios where you will want to run multiple inputs into a good sounding filter. There are a lot of features on this filter. While the Overdriver switch is not to my taste, I could see it being useful for some people. The built-in VCA is very convenient and saves me some space in a compact module. V/Oct input for Cutoff makes this a very musical filter when resonance is high. It is well built like all Rides in the Storm modules, with a metal plate. The plastic knobs are pretty basic but functional. They wiggle a little bit but not terribly so. I appreciate actual knobs instead of the micro-pots used on many compact modules. The OD button has a satisfying spring to it, even if I don't use it very much. This filter would pair well with almost any oscillator. But I suspect most people use it with RitS's DOC or DMO.

Nice soundsing filter.

Pros:

Boost knob retains low end with high resonance, making the sounds nice and massive.

OD makes reso self-oscillate a lot. Very tweety

Build in VCA. 3x attenuated inputs. Saving space.

Cheap!

Cons:

You get what you pay for. Wobbly knobs is a part of the experience.
