Gear Watch: Aguilar Amplification Announces Filter Twin

Aguilar Amplification is introducing a new dual envelop filter to their line of pedals. The Filter Twin uses two identical filters sweeping in opposite directions, one up and one down to deliver 70’s-inspired funk sounds as well as new filter tones.

The Filter Twin uses a four-knob layout, including blend, threshold, velocity (up and down).

Aguilar’s Chief Technical Officer Geof Lipman says, “Having two filters moving around gives you a more organic, vocal quality. By using two filters you are able to get expressive new sounds that you can’t get from other pedals.”

Filter Twin Features:

• Separate velocity controls for each filter
• Blend control allows for panning between filters
• Gig-saver bypass (signal passes even if your battery dies)
• Power: Nine-volt battery or optional universal power supply
• Heavy duty steel construction

The Filter Twin® will be available this month, with a street price of $199.00.
