Audiofab Unveils Frequency Distiller Special Blend: A Dual-Channel Bass Filter With Stereo Mode
Last year, Audiofab introduced the Frequency Distiller, a dual-channel filter pedal inspired by the Alembic Superfilter SF-2. The bass-centric pedal has now been revamped with a “Special Blend” model that incorporates an enhanced filter design and a stereo input mode.
“Each of the pedal’s two independent channels includes a switchable high-pass, low-pass, band-pass, or notch filter, a filter gain control, a sweepable frequency range, and a resonance control—perfect for sculpting everything from subtle tone shaping to dramatic, synth-like filtering,” Audiofab shared in a press release. “The channel mode switch allows players to engage either filter (A or B) or both filters in parallel (A+B mode). In all modes, a clean blend control adjusts the level of unprocessed signal mixed with the filtered output.”
Other features include True Bypass switching, a Hammond 1590BB aluminum enclosure, and knobs that go to 11.
The Audiofab Frequency Distiller Special Blend is available direct for $549 CAD (approximately $405 USD).
Audiofab Frequency Distiller Special Blend Features:
| Super-flexible, dual-channel tone shaping for bass (or guitar) |
| Controls that go to “11” to give that little bit extra |
| Four filter types per channel: low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch |
| Variable cutoff/center frequency: 40 Hz to 6 kHz |
| Adjustable resonance (Q): 1.0 (wide) to 5.5 (narrow) |
| True bypass switching with long-press mute function |
| High-quality jacks, switches, and potentiometers |
| 9V external power supply, boosted internally to 26V for massive headroom |
| LED indicator: lights when pedal is engaged. Flashes when the pedal is muting. |
| Rugged Hammond 1590BB aluminum enclosure |
