EVIL FILTER
The Evil Filter takes an IC chip built for medical testing equipment and warps it into a mutated, psychotic pro-grade High-Pass, Band-Pass, and Low-Pass filter with expression/CV control and built-in fuzz that plays nicely with your recording rig, modular synth setup, guitar, bass, keyboard, other effects on your pedalboard, or anything else that needs a second helping of evil.
At its craziest, the Evil Filter whips up wild upper and lower octaves, twisted folding attack envelopes collapsing back on themselves like velvet bows playing a song for all eternity, whistling resonant EQs, and diabolical self-oscillation. Back off the controls and you’ll hear organic synth-like filters lively with analog warmth, ultra-funky wah-wah effects, pinched glam rock lead guitar tones, or just a surly, insane fuzz paired up with The-Filter-Section-To-End-All-Filter-Sections. Sweeten your signal with a static filter and fuzz or add your favorite expression pedal (or CV) to unleash wicked filter sweeps and insane Wah effects!

The Evil Filter Takes your signal and carves it up so that you only hear the frequencies you want to play with. In High-Pass mode, you'll hear frequencies above where the Filter Freq. control is positioned. In Band-Pass mode, the Evil Filter Chops On the high and low frequencies, leaving you with a midrange signal that has a round, vocal-like character, similar to a Wah. In Low-Pass mode, only bass frequencies below the FilterFreq. controlcom through, so you feel the rumble in your soul.
The Filter Resonance control adjusts the width and “ringiness” of the filter which sets the overall tonal quality of the pedal from being a subtle tone-shaping utility or a harbinger of sonic devastation. At lower settings, the filter acts on a wide range of frequencies for gentle rolling sweeps and conventional filter sounds. As you bring up the Resonance, the affected frequencies get narrower and narrower until it eventually clamps down on such a tiny range of frequencies that boosts them into ringing peaks, earth-shaking subharmonic pulses, and screaming self-oscillation. For extra harmonics and oscillation, flip the Resonance toggle switch from Normal to High and freak out!
Enter the Evil Fuzz
Misery loves company, so the Evil Filter is equipped with an Evil Fuzz to take the signal to a much darker dimension. The Evil Fuzz has its own footswitch so you can use it as a standalone full-on fuzz, or pair it with the Evil Filter to push the medical-grade IC past its limit to develop potent new sonic concoctions to push your sound to the limit.
