New Death By Audio "Kill Kill Filter" - Sound Saw Successor?

[MEC]

I don't think any of us know for sure exactly what it does.
We're just pretty sure it will be awesome and are getting in now before the price is jacked.

Yeah, I shouldn't sound so certain, but based on how it's described and DBA's past filter pedals what I typed up sees pretty plausible to me.

Thanks anyways, Im closer to understanding at least. Sounds good.

That's what I'm thinking too. I'm just not sure how the gain knob will interact with the filters and the input signal.

Well...... if it is truly based on the Sound Saw, then likely the "filters" (read: EQ's; nothing sounding like a wah) are bass and treble boosters at each end of the dial, with a mid-scoop in the middle -- this is roughly what the left-side of the SS does. That being said, even without adding gain these "filters" take any fuzz input and MAKE IT HUGE.

Not sure how the gain will work on this - on the SS each channel had a volume capable of boost with some dirt behind it. Running a clean signal into can give a nice overdrive, or lo-fi tinge to it depending on settings. It will be fun to run this through its paces and compare/contrast.

Interested to see how the gain interacts too. Apparently the pedal acts as a clean "EQ/Filter" with gain down then goes from light OD all the way to heavy distortion when you get to cranking it. I'm hoping there's a decent sweep there, not the standard DBA all or nothing design. I bet the gain makes stacked fuzz/dirt get REAL NASTY real fast. Should rule.

I've been at the edge of the cliff since Friday and I just jumped too. Looking forward to this one, I've wanted a Sound Saw for a while. I really want to like DBA stuff, hopefully I won't end up flipping this one like the Fuzz War, Robot, and Supersonic Fuzz Gun I used to have.

[Holy Schnikes]

I've flipped all DBA beyond my Echo Dream, Robot (can't get a solid offer on it) and hopefully this. At $150 tho, flipping close to full price won't be way outta the question. Not usually the case with DBA...

This looks cool for sure. The one major difference (aside from gain control) that I see between this and the Sound Saw is that the Kill Kill is two switchable settings of the same filter while the Sound Saw is two different switchable filters (a bandpass and a notch filter, if memory serves.) Am I getting that right?

Also, in related news, I just got a Glass Hero "Fuzz Stack" which is an Armageddon clone, and it KILLS. (The Armageddon is a Fuzz War and a Sound Saw combined.)

[Holy Schnikes]

That Glass Hero stuff is enticing.

How much was the fuzz stack? Very eeenteresting.

How does the EQ aspect differ from using an EQ pedal?

No idea how much those are new, BCBC. Got mine used for $150 + shipping or thereabouts.
