Vermona Filter Lancet
The Vermona Filter Lancet is an analog filter and overdrive unit designed for creative sound shaping. It features a multimode filter with 24-dB lowpass, 24-dB highpass, and 12-dB bandpass responses, paired with a discrete built VCA and an overdrive circuit. The design supports envelope and LFO modulation to drive dynamic filter sweeps, wah-like textures, tremolo effects, and more.
The unit accepts CV and gate control for modulation, with a gate minimum of +4 V and external CV voltage of ±10 V. In terms of inputs and outputs, it provides typical audio I/O and CV/Gate integration suitable for integrating into modular or track setups. The enclosure is compact and metal, aided by a power arrangement that uses an external 12 V DC adapter, and the device weighs about 0.75 kg.
Typical use cases include shaping individual tracks or complete mixes, applying per-note filtering with tempo-synced modulation, and adding aggressive or precise analogue character to sources ranging from synthesizers to vocal or guitar lines. The inclusion of drive, envelope follower, and modulation routing allows a wide palette of effects beyond simple filtering.
