    The Death By Audio Germanium Filter is a powerful tool that provides anything from dirty boost to carved out fuzz. Death By Audio starts with an unabashed console-style drive circuit with a penchant for overloading anything you feed into it, thanks to some special "obsolete" Ge transistors. The Filter knob works hand in hand with the gain control and the heavy range pummels your speakers with sub frequencies and then sweeps into scooped territory towards the middle and high pass at higher ranges. The Germanium filter also has an internal linear master volume to better match with direct recording or to really kick your amp into saturation! Like all DBA effects, experimentation is key and stacking with other pedals will breathe new life and unexplored sweet spots into your pedal chain.

    I would love to see a video on your approach to preparing for and composing your intros. You have a special way of playing to the pedal your demoing and seem to be able to pull everything out of them. I love it.

      I really appreciate it, Ryan! Lately the process has started with a drum track from my friend in Germany, Stefan Pötzsch. Then I almost always write the bass first so it locks properly and then come up with a unique riff on guitar. Thanks for the question:)

    Amazing demo, Andy, as always! I wish DBA had included an expression pedal input to control the filter sweep, like on the Moog MF Drive. That would be the icing on the cake 👍

    Just found this channel, glad to see you still have your own space to post longer form demos and such! As a multi-instrumentalist and someone who enjoys weird and "unusable" effects, you're a continual source of inspiration and actually sold me on a Gonkulator back in the day. Thanks for the years of demoing great gear, and here's to years more!
