Making Sound Machines - Farb Highpass

Farb Highpass is an analog transistor ladder highpass filter, and features a distinct circuit from the classic lowpass ladder. We tweaked the circuit and added CV-able resonance to the feedback path.

We also added a Tilt EQ. It lets you either bring some of the warmth back in, or double down on the highpass and go all sizzly.

We have always been fascinated with analogue effects circuits, and we love the way their quirks and nonlinearities inspire us to find new sounds.

Farb Highpass features a distinct circuit from the classic lowpass ladder. We tweaked the circuit and added CV-able resonance to the feedback path. This module crosses the sonic richness of the classic East Coast highpass ladder filter with added fine control from its weighted input stage.

It is part of our Farbfilter (colour filter) range of sound colouring modules, offering a wide sonic palette from lending glowing warmth to electric sizzle in 4 HP.

Farb Highpass is designed to be an easy, beginner-friendly DIY build you can solder yourself.

Features:
• Classic analog circuit: Transistor Ladder Highpass Filter.
• CV and Offset for Low Cut.
• CV and Attenuation for Resonance.
• Tilt EQ to add bass or sizzle.
• Backlit panel offers instant visual feedback over CV.
• Flip panel: with or without number.

DIY-Kit-Type:
Semi-DIY-Kit. Most of the components are completely ready, you only have to assemble panel, knobs and some screws/washers.
