Combining ultra-precise filtering with aggressive fuzz and intense modulation capabilities, it empowers musicians and sound designers to transform their audio signal into thrilling new sonic forms.
Main Features
Psychoanalogue filter with integrated fuzz circuit
Ultra-accurate filter driven by a medical-grade IC chip
Versatile filter modes: low pass, band pass, and high pass
Capable of extreme resonance, self-oscillation, and octave artefacts
Switchable fuzz types and inverted compression for dynamic textures
Expression CV input for external modulation control
Robust laser-etched metal enclosure
At the heart of the Evil Filter lies a medical-grade IC delivering precise, responsive filtering unmatched in fidelity. It handles everything from subtle filtering sweeps to intense self-oscillation and octave-up/down effects, creating wild, psychoactive textures that feel alive and unpredictable.
The onboard fuzz section deepens sonic innovation with a switchable fuzz style and inverted compression toggle, offering a spectrum from tight grit to chaotic saturation that responds dynamically to your playing style.
External control is enhanced via the EXP CV input, letting you modulate the filter cutoff frequency using expression pedals or synthesizers for rhythmic sweeps and experimental performances.
