Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Thx Alex, I received a similar response which basically repeated what 
you've stated... So I'm set on looking towards getting a separate 
external filter box as suggested... I'll just used the Evo for it's 
uniqueness & mangling textures...

Cheers,
Jay

didn’t find the filters all that interesting on their own to use on 
external sounds, and get more use from the distotion, trash and echo, 
using the filters to control the sound.

it by reputation) electrix filter factory.
