I just spent a couple of hours playing with it, and this thing bloody rocks. Took me an hour to figure out the configuration of the filters and whats what, but now that i know it a bit better i have to say this is one serious sound mangler. The input overdrive is a bit too brutal and fizzy for my liking, but if you overdrive the filter you get some wicked low-end distortion. Put a drum loop thru that fucker and you get an instant bassline to go. More, swich the second filter to BP mode and get some swooshy toobrush effects on the hihats, just ad a new snare and you´re ready to go...
Hell, even if it sounded crap, all the pretty lights would still inspire me to make tracks. Especially the red/green LFO one, which pulsates to show you the lfo frequency and phase. Oh, and did i mention that the bloody thing goes up to 3Khz? Hillarious, i tell ya...
As the guy who sold it to me said: "this thing is a weapon."
And i got the thing from an SSL based studio... apparently the thing was too brutal for them

The Filter Factory is good old fashioned analog..
And think about what you're saying.. The Electrix is $100! The Sherman goes for, what $600 new in the states?
Like the people who hear your tunes are going to listen and say, "Fuck this track sucks! That's not a Sherman filter!"

Waldorf had a cool filter box.. the 4-pole
A bunch of old synth makers, make modular
filter boxes too... EMU, ARP, Moog, etc...
Filter Factory has to be the sweetest deal on
earth... built perfect, sweet grainy knobs... AND
THE bandpass and notch filter are fucking
amazing with the 4-pole mono application. $
100 bucks was a steal!
The filterbank is a rare breed, but I would save
more money for a ARP 2600. But, I can't doubt
the filterbank... I wish I had one
