Thinking about what you said. It's supposed to have a range of 6db to
18db. So I would think that would be 1 pole to 3 poles with some sort
of separate control of the poles.

Maybe if you see evidence of 2 stages then maybe there are separate 1
pole and 2 pole filters with the 1 pole being mixed with the 12db
from full phase inverted to 0 to 100%. But that's a mixing theory not
a separate control on a stage theory you were mentioning

Though reading what you wrote maybe it's offsetting the second and
third pole cutoffs successively higher to decrease their combined
slope down to 6db. When they have the same cutoff the net result is
18db. Just guessing here.

I don't actually have the module but I've always been curious about
it since seeing it in the catalog.
