2-pole Parameters
The Waldorf 2-pole Filter consists of numerous sound-
shaping components.
Activate Switch
When activated, the signal is
routed through the filter and the
filter drive. When deactivated,
the complete signal path is truly
bypassed and you will get a
clean and unprocessed signal.
Amplifier Section
To get a clean, not distorted signal, Gain should be adju-
sted to a suitable level. The input gain range from 0 dB to
30 dB, therefore it can handle various input levels. The
LED indicator above Gain shows whenever an audio
signal is present.
Of course, the pre-amplifier can be overloaded to get a
saturated input sound. It is up to you to rise the gain, to
obtain sounds ranging from smoothly saturated to real
dirty / hard clipped.
The Output knob controls the volume of the 2-pole Fil-
ter’s audio output and delivers a line level signal.
Filter Section
The 2-pole offers a multimode filter with rectifier and
saturation. The signal path is: Rectifier -> Filter -> Satura-
