...but isn't a Moog type analog filter?
If you're familiar with the Moog, how do they compare.

The thing with the feedback is that on the demos the guys just
let it run amok all the time.

A moog filter can oscillate with a lovely delicate silvery tone,
as long as resonance is tweaked carefully.
Can the T-Res manage that? 

Another thing from the demos, was that guitar sounds gave
me more the impression of guitar *plus* weirdness, rather
than the guitar *becoming* weirdness such as I like to
get from my Vortex.
If that makes sense, would you be able to comment?

thanks again
