Re: Module requests: Simple 48 db filter and simple Hipass

2010-12-16 by selfoscillate

yes, but it should be the version described in the red font
on top of the page, a dual 30db version which can be
coupled to work as a 60db filter. i don't know if steeper
filters push the price further up. if not, that even a
dual 60db filter would make sense imo.
