Preamp

Korg MS-20 dual resonant filter and preamp in pedal format. CV and expression inputs, self-oscillates.

Analog Music Company is a one-man boutique operation in Kyiv, Ukraine run by Konstantin. The SHSL (So High So Low) brings the aggressive resonant filters of the Korg MS-20 synthesizer to guitar in pedal format.

Dual high-pass and low-pass filters run in series with independent cutoff and resonance controls. Past the 12 o'clock position on resonance, each filter begins to self-oscillate and can function as a CV-controlled oscillator. The preamp/saturation section, inspired by Moogerfooger pedals, adds grit ranging from light saturation to full overdrive.

Separate CV and expression inputs for each filter allow dynamic control from external sources like the Korg SQ-1 or expression pedals. Requires 9V center-negative with minimum 200mA (300mA recommended).
