Hi Robert,
I have the first version of the Sherman Filterbank and find it quite
different from any other filter I have. It has a very smooth overdrive
that is aggressive without being excessively harsh, although it can get
very ugly too, in a good way. Remember that with the Sherman you get 2
filters, an LFO, AR and ADSR EGs, and an envelope follower. So, there is a
lot in the package. The two 12db/oct filters can be set up in series or
parallel. The older models can be had for a reasonable price on the used
market these days. They are a bit awkward to use rack mounted so I would
probably recommend using the desktop setup so you can get at all the jacks
on the back.
