YESSS, put me down too!
Hotdamn, Polivoks, that shit's NASSTY!
I'm not sure how it'll work on guitar or bass (I read somewhere it's not as suitable for guitar or bass use but I think with the right input stage it'll crush bones big time).
Also, can you guys do expression control over the resonance as well and maybe a flip switch to invert the resonance (so high freq = low resonance and vice versa).
The coolest would be if you could do expression control over frequency, resonance, frequency + resonance (regular) and frequency + resonance (inverted)
The Polivoks really needs control over the resonance as well I think because that particularly is what makes it such a nassty nassty beast.
Another thing would be to add a blend or clean volume control, I use that quite a lot to keep the edge / character of the original sound in, especially when you use the filter with drive or fuzz pedals it's an option worth looking into.
Just some thoughts really (I'm a filter nut)…
Please please please, pretty pretty please, with sugar on top?

All good thoughts Tristan!
Also, a switch to reverse the direction of the sweep.

I don't understand. The resonance is only affecting the cutoff freq, isn't it?

Will there be a frequency modulation? If so, please make the lfo go into audio frequencies. I want that sweet, fat distortion for my guitar.

nassssty indeed!

expression over either cutoff or resonance will definitely be there - a combination of the two? i will look into that.
as for clean blend and frequency modulation via LFO or envelope, etc. - these are things that don't really fit into the "small AND cheap" situation. skully and i will talk some more about it but mostly were were thinking a static filter that can be controlled via expression or CV would be cool.

I'm not interested in LFOs or he sort but a clean blend addition would be realy nice. Regardless put me on the list!

If there be a list I place myself upon it. For a normal enclosure.
ILFilter 4 lyf
This is what ILF is all about y'all!

@goroth:
Another cool idea, especially for the treadle one, otherwise you can always get an expression pedal which has that option or an Expressionator or something.
@phanta:
True, but just like Brian said really, I was talking about a way to control the resonance as well as the frequency cutoff together, in the higher frequency range things can get squeeky with high resonance (which can be great but isn't always what you want) so that's why I was thinking about the invert switch.
I'm not sure, it might be bogus and maybe it doesn't sound that great, but I'm very curious about it.
@smallsnd/bigsnd:
Awesome, you guys doing expression controlled resonance already is a huge thing!
Personally I don't care much about LFO's either, I'm all for the expression controlled static filter, superduper cool.

If possible maybe you guys could offer the clean blend or clean volume as an upgrade?
I'm just thinking out loud, if not, I'm still interested.
Also, Polivoks, mozes bojangles, I'm very very curious to see and hear what you guys are going to do with it, super excited!

Provided I have the funds when this is finished (likely if it's cheap), I'd take one.

A Polivoks, nice.
This is a good way to sneak these guys into owning modular gear.

You have 2 posts here. This one. And one in a giveaway thread.
Seems like you really dig this community.
