Land Devices Moonbow Resonant Filter Overdrive Pedal

CHANNEL OVERLOAD
There’s a secret hiding in our Compact Mixer: push the channel hard enough, and it turns into a beautiful overdrive. We loved that sound so much, we broke it out into its own standalone unit.

Moonbow takes a beloved dual-mode voltage-controlled filter and reimagines it, pairing it with a souped-up channel strip pulled from our Mixer. The filter is placed in front of the overdrive, for gentle signal compression or bold saturation of its resonant peaks. The flexibility of the gain and level controls allows for use with both instrument level and line level.

CONTROLS

• GAIN: Adjustable from -13dB to +20dB. Turn clockwise to increase gain.
• LVL: Output volume level.
• CUTOFF: Adjusts the frequency range of the filter from 20Hz to 5kHz.
• RES: Controls the resonance of the filter. Caution should be exercised when pushing past seventy percent. Strong oscillations will occur.
• HP/LP toggle: Switch between 
  high pass filter & low pass filter.
• CV IN: Control voltage input for ‘CUTOFF.’ Accepts 0-5V.
