MOTM

Ive heard  from many the Sherman filterbank is awesome for disitorting things.
No tubes but great overdrive and distortion ala the last Depeche Mode or
Crystal method albums.

There about $700 though  : (

Which reminds me:  it's quite easy to overdrive your motm filters as 
well--I'm not sure how healthy it is for the circuit, but I do enjoy
pushing my 410 & 420 into distortion--pretty sweet for solid state.

huh.  i haven't had much luck overdriving my 410.  maybe i built it 
wrong, but it does some quite nasty things if i give it too much 
signal.  i know the 420 and the 440 are suppose to be overdrivable, 
is this the case with the 410?  paul?

I would have to agree with this observation.  I had a guitarist recently plug
directly into a Sherman Filterbank and straight into the mixing board and he
commented on how cool it sounded.  Not only do you get some nice distortion but a
killer filter and envelope follower.  Pricey but surprisingly useful in lots of
situations.

yep, i've had one for a few years now and it was a permanent fixture on one
of my fx sends, it's kind of fallen foul of MOTM fever of late, but if you
have one, and got past the crap cat & mouse analogy in the manual, then
you'll discover it's also voltage controllable...
my favourite distortion however is still currently my little (like 4" high)
replica marshall amp that only cost me a tenner - and the headphone out is
ideal for bumping up to near MOTM levels - oh, and did i mention it looks
dead cool on stage..?

cheers

It will distort if you do NOT install the 6dB pad resistor (R68).
