Re: Link to Oakley filter schematics
The filters in the Dual Filter Voicing Unit are geared more towards the
guitar range but w/ some minor component substitutions it performs
admirably for other uses as well. The DFVU is primarily an
overdrive/clean
boost w/ 2 active filters in the overdrive section. Being an overdrive,
it
will sound best driving the front end of a tube amp, overdriving the tubes
to create distortion. It sounds pretty good, but if you're looking for a
conventional filter w/ a wide frequency range, this will probably
disappoint. OTOH, it's cheap and easy to build. I would say go for
it. I would recommend picking up a copy of Electronic Projects For
Musicians if you don't already have one (not just for this, but it is a
really good reference for music electronics in general).
