High Gain Input level High Low Signal Components Assembled Plague Bearer filter module DC power cable – (euro) 9” Ribbon cable w/10-&16-pin 0.1" connectors (frac)18" 4-wire cable w 4-pin 0.156" connectors Specifications (see text for detailed description.) Supply Voltage ±9V –> ±15V (min –>...
Philosophy/What is it? The Plague Bearer is called a filter, but that is just a description of the circuit topology, what it can actually do goes way beyond that. It has been described as a filter, a waveshaper, a mangler, a crusher, and – my favorite –...

input attenuator. Lower signal levels will give a much wider range of signal coloration/alteration, while overdriving the input of the filter will give a very harsh distortion and destroy most of the filtering subtleties. If you find that the filter seems too "touchy", and overdrives too easily for you, try attenuating the signal before the module.
High Signal Output: RIGHT pin is signal/tip, LEFT pin is ground/sleeve Power Cable Gain CV PB-1E: 9” Doepfer-style ribbon cable. The shrouded header removes all B100k mystery PB-1F: 18” 4-wire cable with identical red AMP connectors at either end. Just plug it in.

Making Noise The PB filter can also act as a noise generator, and quite a variable one at that. To do so, just turn the input all the way down (CCW), turn the gain up a bit, and then adjust the High and Low controls to get the desired tone of noise.
