Would be interested to know as well. My guess has always been that it means the steepness is less than 12 dB per octave like it is on the standard filter. s_wood Advanced Member Username: s_wood Post Number: 243 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, May 27, 2007 - 4:51 pm:    No,no, no. As a Bourbon guy, I can tell you that Jack Daniels is Fender. If you are looking for the Alembic of Bourbons, try Blanton's or Rowan Creek or maybe Bookers. jseitang Advanced Member Username: jseitang Post Number: 207 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Monday, May 28, 2007 - 12:03 am:    rebel yell keavin Senior Member Username: keavin Post Number: 1199 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Monday, May 28, 2007 - 5:15 am:    a mellow filter is a mellower "WAH" than the normal filter. crgaston Advanced Member Username: crgaston Post Number: 396 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Monday, May 28, 2007 - 7:55 am:    Adriaan, based on Keavin's description, it sounds like that's a pretty darn good guess. adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 1473 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 29, 2007 - 1:48 am:    One thing I'm not so fond of with the LPF is that you very quickly lose all brightness. I would assume that a filter with less than 12 dB drop-off per octave leaves more brightness. cozmik_cowboy Intermediate Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 146 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Tuesday, May 29, 2007 - 5:43 am:    I hate to be picky (well, OK, not really), but I don't believe Jack Daniel's is bourbon. It lacks the minimum 51% corn in the mash for that designation. And while I seldom drink distilled spirits any more, when I do it's Maker's Mark.

On the alcohol note(since I am fom the UK) Laphroig - a smoky peaty malt whiskey from the Isle of Jura in Scotland is my choice jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 1179 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 30, 2007 - 5:05 am:    'Laphroag'. I'm quite partial to a dram or two myself ;-) Graeme adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 1476 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 30, 2007 - 5:18 am:    It's actually LaphroAIg. terryc Intermediate Member Username: terryc Post Number: 157 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Wednesday, May 30, 2007 - 5:34 am:    Oops..difficult to spell garlic or is it gaelic jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 1181 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 30, 2007 - 5:35 am:    Dunno. it's all double dutch to me;-) adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 1477 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 30, 2007 - 5:42 am:    In Dutch, we have an expression 'I get gallic' for getting seriously annoyed. terryc Intermediate Member Username: terryc Post Number: 160 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Wednesday, May 30, 2007 - 5:49 am:    Pronounciations--is Olympic or Alembic or how do I pronounce that anyway, especially after a few of the said alcoholic drinks
