“The Germanium Filter is our love letter to sticking a pencil through your speaker.”
Death By Audio just announced the release of their latest pedal, The Germanium Filter.
At its base, the Germanium Filter is a drive pedal that utilizes obsolete germanium transistors to offer a range of drive tones from a dirty boost and overdrive to distortion and full-blown fuzz. That sound is then fed into a Death By Audio-style filter that allows you to shape its frequencies from extremely low lows to shrieking highs and everything in between.
The Germanium Filter has an easy-to-use set of controls:
- Filter Control (Heavy/High): Controls the filter’s frequency response.
- Gain Control (Clean/Dirty): Increases the amount of gain – from mild overdrive to heavy fuzz.
- Volume (internal): There is an internal control that allows you to set the output volume of the pedal.
