Why does a filter have to be evil ?

Anyway, has anyone heard this thing. Is it any good ?

i think it's evil cause it's got fuzz and a ring mod and it's by death by audio. they are famous for taking effects past extreme and into just pure noise territory.

Don't let being a born-again sway your choice in pedals

+1. I bought one of their other pedals, a custom Green Ringer clone, and when I got I was like "oh yeah, I forgot this guy is in a noise band and makes pedals for noise music, duh." It wasn't hissy, just harsh and aggro sounding.

I have never seen that pedal, and I've thoroughly browsed the DBA custom gallery...

It's probably a custom, one-of-a-kind thing, definitely geared for noise and chaos.

Really?

Then I MUST have it!

Seriously... one of these days, I'm going to get a DBA pedal on my board. I just need to find the right one for me...

...or commission DBA to make the right one for me.

I was really interested in that filter when I first heard of it. I was like, "DBA make a filter? Whaa? I'll take 2." But then I found out it's a static filter, no LFO or envelope control. Oh well.

They are silkscreened by hand, so there's some inherent spottiness from that... plus I think he does like the glitchy look anyway.

Not really. I've just been randomly cycling through an assortment of Boo avatars.

I'm really partial to this one - I've used it before, too.

Anyhow... did anyone check out the other new pedal that AnalogueHaven is carrying from DBA - the Robot?

After listening to clips of it... I now have three DBA pedals I'd love to own. It made my GAS worse - and hearing clips of the Evil Filter (whenever they release some clips) won't make it any better!
