I'm now a bonafide "member" !!!!! No more junior this and that! Bammmm, ok its October in far nor cal so I might be losing it a little. What do mellow filters do that is different from say a sf-2?

Bear; now that you're a "bonafide member", there's this little matter of dues. Taylor, my guess is that they probably would; but I would also guess that both superfilters and mellow filters would be considered custom wiring and would require a lot of bench time. In other words, I'm guessing that it would not be inexpensive and could probably take a while. They want everything that goes out the door to be right. adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 2341 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - 1:17 am:    Bob's Custom Rogue includes "half of a SuperFilter". Perhaps Mica can answer if changing the roll-off rate on standard filter can be done as a DIY mod. I'd love to experiment with that, because I always leave the filter wide open as I feel you lose all the brilliance all at once by tuning it lower. A mellow filter would go very nicely with the mellow Q switch (0/3/6 dB instead of 0/8 dB) on my Spoiler!
