The Sherman Filterbank 2 is a classic, powerful, analog filter with a huge frequency range and killer overdrive. It is great for both live and studio use.

What you get

• Independent low pass, band pass and high pass filters with resonance, frequency and ADSR (positive - negative) controls
• These are switchable between parallel or serial
• The second filter has a 6 octave switch, and is synchronizable with the first filter
• 1 ADSR generator for these filters with an external output for use with more filterbanks or modular systems, triggered by the incoming signal, by a second sounds source, or by a gate
• 1 FM input for the filters, internal or external audio, LFO or CV
• 1 VCA overdrive with AR generator also
• 1 ring modulator input, internal or external audio, LFO or CV

So whats new with the Sherman Filterbank 2?

There are 5 extra switches and 2 extra LEDs, and on the back panel there's one pedal input jack. A reworked front-panel lay-out and the grey metal color.

• The pedal input allows foot control of freq1and bypass/effect switching. You can rewire an old wah (because they have a switch on board) as shown by te diagram in ‘extra stuff’.
• A 5mm big green LED indicates 'Effect on' on the FB 2
• A 3-way switch on the input stage allows Hi boost as well Hi cut (both boosting high frequencies at input)
• Another 3-way switch allows 'Sensitrig' (which makes the triggering twice as sensitive for, e.g. clean string pad filtering) and 'Limit', which leaves the filters more 'breathing room' for self-oscillation if the input stage is extremely overdriven.
• A 3-way switch has 2 general transpose functions : +1 Octave and + Quint which works nice with monophonic signals, and has a specific dirty character.
• A 3-way switch for the really powerful and quite revolutionary 'Tracking' function - a monophonic pitch follower, that tunes filter 2 to the incoming pitch, and makes filter 1 slave of filter 2 via the harmonics switch. E.g. in position 2, filter 1 will be pitched one octave higher than filter 2, but still following the pitch. This extra switch activates the 'tracking' in a normal or deep 'track low' position, with stunning basses as result.
• The 'revolutionary' aspect of this function is that never before any similar system enhances 'on the spot' harmonics and creates new harmonics with fat analog circuits.
• An extra white LED indicates when the tracking system is 'locked on'.
• At last there is an 3-way function switch in the LFO section, allowing sawtooth wave shape OR AR retrig : this forces an LFO restart from the AR trig with pumping grooves as unavoidable result. If you want to receive a new brochure, please ask your dealer first.
