Re: [motm] OT: Frostwave MIDI-CV
2000-06-01 by Ben Vehorn
Yep--I have 2 of the Midi-CV convertors, the Funk-a-Duck envelope filter and the MS20 filter clone. They all are great, although I have to say I prefer the MOTM MS20 filter because it is a lot more patchable. Both of my pedals sound great, though, and the Funk-a-Duck is a pretty serious stand-alone sound mangling device, kinda like a poor man's Sherman. My favorite thing about the midi-cv convertors is that they use dipswitches for their configuration settings. I know this is *really* low-tech, but it fits well with the way I work. I ordered mine directly from Paul Perry at Frostwave, but you can also get pretty good deals and quick shipping on them from www.gaspedal.com (which I highly recommend as a new effects dealer). Check the aharchives (http://www.midiwall.com/aharchives/) for more in-depth reviews. I know Robbi Kultbox was pretty hot on the stompboxes and posted some pretty good reviews last year--he was talking about playing a show with just a Frostwave Filter pedal and an Eventide Harmonizer... --Ben PS--Paul's a great guy, too. ivancu@... wrote:
