Hi Robert,

I have the first version of the Sherman Filterbank and find it quite 
different from any other filter I have.  It has a very smooth overdrive 
that is aggressive without being excessively harsh, although it can get 
very ugly too, in a good way.  Remember that with the Sherman you get 2 
filters, an LFO, AR and ADSR EGs, and an envelope follower.  So, there is a 
lot in the package.  The two 12db/oct filters can be set up in series or 
parallel.  The older models can be had for a reasonable price on the used 
market these days.  They are a bit awkward to use rack mounted so I would 
probably recommend using the desktop setup so you can get at all the jacks 
on the back.

         Eric
