Somehow, I 
just can't get other filter boxes to work satisfactorily... but people buy 
them so they must work!

...meanwhile, I gave it a few spins a few different times in the stores. 
Each 
time I looked at it I thought -this thing must be great - well, it is very 
versatile, but somehow I couldn't get one inspiring (to me) sound out of 
it! 
A few painful ones, but maybe someday...


Point is:  

I think filter effects are some of the trickiest of all. Get your hands on 
as 
many as you can try and go with the one that can makes you happy EASILY.  
I 
go back and forth about selling my Meatball, it can do lots of great 
things, 
but I can't just jam and go like I can on my trusty, crusty, Microsynth. 
Good 
Luck and don't compromise. Take no other advice except this!  Tee Hee.
