PARAGRAPHS II

paragraphs II is the latest generation of our four-pole resonant low-pass filter effect. it features stereo inputs and outputs, with a focus on modulation functions that respond to your playing dynamics and add stereo depth

at the core of paragraphs II is the same rich ladder-style filter found in our replay synthesizer, offering exceptional harmonic tone shaping with precise control. this low-pass filter excels at adding character to harmonically complex, fuzzed, and distorted signals. its improved signal-to-noise ratio also ensures a clean, clear tone for more pristine sources like clean guitar, bass, or electric keyboards
