High Pass and Sound Shaping
The unique, inductor-based High Pass Filter adds another layer of control and creativity. The sturdy selector switch targets specific frequency points from 40hz to 330hz with a musical resonance going beyond basic tone shaping. This switch quickly sculpts your sound with a natural taper and gentle bump that preserves the original captured feeling and encourages you to experiment in the moment. Whether you’re cutting through low-end rumble or adding clarity to your mix, use the filter’s resonances to discover new surprises in your sound.
