Re: [motm] Dual 420 filters

2003-12-13 by Tobias Machine Head

I got one of all Paul\u2019s filters plus two 420. I got the two 420 with the intention of using them as a band pass filter.
There is some use to having two of them I guess, but not quite as exiting as I was hoping for. I rarely use the 420\u2019s in tandem. I\u2019m even considering selling one of them to make more room for other modules.
If your only filter is a 420 and you\u2019re thinking about buying another filter, then I highly recommend the 440. I think it\u2019s hands down the best sounding filter ever! Also It\u2019s quite nice together with the 420 running high pass.

I'm considering purchasing another 420 filter kit. Right now my only
filter is a 420. With two of them you can get -24 dB/oct LP and HP
responses and -12 dB/oct notch. Also you can duplicate the filter
section of an MS-20 by running one high pass and one low pass in
series. Parallel processing and stereo fx would be another bonus.

Do you think it would be better to get a different filter, say the
490 or 440 in order to have a different character available or would
it be more fun to have two 420s? Can anyone also possibly provide an
audio sample of you just noodling about with two 420s.. I'd like to
hear what sort of stuff is possible, especially when configured like
the Korg MS-20 setup. Thanks for any info.
