“This is an 24dB/octave analog lowpass filter. It has many knobs, and very few menus, which makes it very easy to use. If you are familiar with subtractive synthesis, you’ll have no problem jumping right in. If not, you’ll have a fun time learning”
“This machine is great! I love using it to warp out my ambient tracks.”
“What I like is the flexibility. it can be used on anything. I find it to be a nice creative tool”
“a versatile solution for analogue monophonic synthesis. Unlike retrofitted analogue synths with MIDI, this innovative system offers programmable analogue processing for any audio source”
“Rare and mythical Peavey (yes Peavey) Spectrum analog filter from 1995. Way ahead of its time to be appreciated and failed badly as a product. Based around a 4 pole Moog latter filter design with envelopes for the amplitude and filter with crazy midi implementation: it is quite the sculptor of sound”
“This thing is awesome!! Cant figure out why Peavey stopped producing this one. Its easy to use and has the power to turn cheese into total Phatt!! I love mine and its gets a lot of use. I also have the electrix filter factory which is way cool, but this puppy has its own flavor. If you can find one (they are rarely popping up here and there) grab it fast!! You wont want to let it go. Very useful and reliable machine. “

In very good good, used condition. It’s missing the knob for input two but, as there are three inputs, this should not be a problem. Supplied with. UK-spec external power supply
