If anyone hasn't noticed these yet, they are some mighty fine effects. They are both the same size as stomp boxes, except they work best as hand-operated pedals. The Philtre is an important part of my drum machine rig. It does excellent lo-pass, hi-pass, band-pass and band-reject filtering. You can set it to act like an auto-wah, like a filter LFO, you can operate it manually like a wah-wah (except with a knob), or you can tell it to come up with random (but repeating) patterns. The Bitrman's best offering is bit reduction, a crunchy type of distortion popularized by Nine Inch Nails and Atom Heart. It also has traditional overdrive, compression, comb filtering, and a nice upward pitch shifter. (It only pitch-bends upward.) Why on earth Alesis discontinued these devices is beyond me. -- Matt Davignon mattdavignon@gmail.com www.ribosomemusic.com Podcast! http://ribosomematt.podomatic.com Rigs! http://www.youtube.com/user/ribosomematt On Fri, Jul 29, 2011 at 6:10 PM, Charlie M <pilotcp@gmail.com> wrote: > Sorry if this is too OT, but I know that some loopers like the modFX > series > for mangling their loops, so I thought I'd see if anyone wanted my two. > I've got a Philtre and a Bitrman for anyone interested.
