- Active Acid is an analog 4-pole low-pass filter effect pedal with extensive features and control. Full resonance, 8-waveform LFO, expression control, envelope mode with two response types and sidechain capability, and a pre-filter drive. It's beautiful and nuts!

Sounds incredible!
Yessss! Thanks so much!
Niice, sounds killer. btw it is me or the knobs labels the font is stacked on top of another layer (out of focus)
Ha, yeah, that's just the design. An optical effect in the text. I hope it's not too annoying!
But very glad you like the sounds!
This seems very close to Vongon Paragraphs pedal. Can you explain how they differ?
I've actually never played the Paragraphs, so I'm a little bit guessing on some of this (with help from my friend who's played and loved both in different ways). In fact I was unaware of the Vongon until I was done with mine. Theirs looks very cool, for sure!
The first difference is what's at the heart of each pedal, which is a different filter architecture. Active Acid is built around my favorite filter, the SSM 2140, the filter used in the original Prophet 5. Theirs is built around the AS3320, which is a recreation of a Curtis filter that was used in later Prophet 5 models.
The envelope response seems to behave quite a bit differently too.
Another big difference for me personally is that Active Acid works with an external expression pedal, whereas I don't believe the Paragraphs does (forgive me if I'm incorrect on this!). This is a big deal to me in live and recording situations. Both offer sidechain, in different ways. The LFO function is also very different on each. It's kind of a preference thing as to which is more expansive/powerful but they both seem to offer a lot of control and options over the waveform of the LFO.
Ultimately, if you're looking for a synthy Moogy filter pedal, it appears to me you can't go wrong with either, just depends on which features suit your needs better!
@@TrapDoorElectronics Killer! Thanks for the info. Great work. Congratulations on your pedal. I am considering getting one for my synth setup.
@@PhillipThyfault Awesome! Yeah, for what I like to do, I looooooove it on synth (and guitar and drum machines and whatever, really).
