The Superfilter is hideously expensive for what it does. Cheap compared to their basses though!

I did think about the fmods, but wondered how accurate and transparent they'd be.

Whaddya reckon?

If you want to have both low and high frequencies filtered you would simply use the Mid output of a 3-way crossover (think DBX, Behringer, Samson etc etc)

The Low/Mid frequency control would be set to (example) 50 Hz, the Mid/High to (example) 3kHz. The Mid output would then consist of audio between 50 Hz and 3kHz. Nothing needs to be connected to Low output or High output, you just use the Mid.

You don't need to use two channels, you can feed several amps from any output.[/quote]


That makes a lot of sense.

I'd have to use a Y splitter to feed the two channels of the power amp?
