Sherman Filterbank- my god!
JEEZ! I was looking for a verstile distortion/ modulator unit, when i ran across an ad for a Filterbank, right in my neighbourhood. Needless to say, i went and checked it out, and of course couldnt resist it, so i had to get it.
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 youŽre 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
