Vermona Filter Lancet - analogue multimode filter - Manual (Page 6)

ATTENTION:
Because FILTER Lancet is a filter built of analogue compo-
nents, it will take 5 to 10 minutes for the parts to reach
their appropriate temperature and ensure best tuning
stability!
Components and Controls
Filter Lancet is a filter box. Beside its central sound shaping element, a
multimode filter, it offers further functions such as overdrive, VCA, LFO and
an envelope-generator. This section will take a closer look to the different
sections of FILTER Lancet and their correspondent control elements.
Input Section (IN)
This section controls input sensitivity and a possible analogue overdrive of
the circuit. The amount of possible distortion in FILTER Lancet ranges from
light saturation to hefty distortion.
The available control elements are:

GAIN
Use this control to set the input sensitivity. A corresponding LED will
indicate overloads. Set the control in a way that the LED only lights up
shortly during signal peaks. FILTER Lancet has a large GAIN range that
allows line- as well as instrument-level-signals to be connected and
adequately pre-amplified. Do not worry if the clip-LED already lights up
in the gain control's first quarter when using line-level-signals. Using
higher GAIN settings will allow you to distort the input, which will result
in a noticeable increase of volume.
FILTER Lancet's input was designed to handle high-impedance signals of
instrument pickups, too. There is no need to use a DI-box here. Instead,
you may connect your guitar, bass or clavinet directly.
