<span class="776105503-10062023">I've built a ladder filter on my own PCB layout from Yves Usson's Minimoog ladder filter schematic, and I must confess that the results are less than stellar. The filter works, but not terribly well, and it sounds nothing like a Minimoog. I used 2N3904 and 2N3906 instead of BC547 and BC557, but I matched all of the transistor pairs in the ladder, and matched the four transistors at the top and bottom of the ladder as well as the other four transistors, using Ian Fritz's transistor matching circuit (which I also laid out and built on a PCB). I did not try to match the one PNP to the current driving NPN below the bottom of the ladder.</span>

Everything else was exactly as specified in the schematic. This was my second attempt to build from an Yves Usson ladder filter schematic. My "Raging Bull" Taurus filter didn't work at all.</span>
