Filter Verb (Proto 462)

The second entry into Proto Club is a doozy, a prototype that’s been years in the making that a handful of us have been using for almost as long. While the Soft Focus came together just a short time ago, the Filter Verb was built around an effort to extract shoegaze tones from the more performance-oriented platform of one of our older discontinued devices. The result is a reverb-chorus-resonant filter chimera complete with expression control and momentary functions. A fat resonant low-pass filter makes precise cuts to the base of a lush modulated chorus-verb. You can use the knob to set the frequency of that low-pass filter, or plug in your expression pedal and control the cutoff that way. A momentary switch activates the room reverb at will, letting you insert precise, enormous reverb blasts at will, and you can set the heat of the onboard preamp before it smashes into all of that.
