so i have been thinking for a little while now, and was wondering if Alembic would ever do a custom bass/guitar and put superfilters and
mellow filters like they use to do?

I want supermellow filters!

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.

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!
