The two filters in the sound saw were like that of a 'wah' and 'bass to treble' (like the tone knob of the fuzz war).
The Kill Kill filter used two of the same filters that have the similar 'wah' range.
It's been a while since I've talked about all these things so give me a moment lol...
As you may or may not know, DBA recycled/recycles several circuits and each time they put out a new pedal using one of those circuits, it's slightly improved.
The filter in the Evil Filter is that of the 'Evil Filter' (go figure right?). The Evil Filter circuit was used in several pedals like the Reznor Filter, Fuzz Fuzz Filter, Sound Master, APTBS wah filter +more. As far as I know and from what I've heard playing through my own pedals, it's not the same as the filters found in the Sound Saw and Kill Kill filters.
The Evil Filter has a few options added to it like ‘Resonance’, Frequency, shape select, and output. Another addition is a ‘warp’ jack for an expression pedal…
This one never worked for me so I can’t tell you more about it but it will be included with this new production model.
One of the downsides to the new version is that there is no 6-way selector switch to change fuzz flavors.
Some of the last runs of the Evil Filter had a little switch on them for fuzz so the production ones should be derived from those Evil Filters.
If you see the guts, it’s quite interesting. The prototype, first run, and first run with fuzz, ALL had the SAME boards. The production ones just weren’t fully populated. This is another thing DBA did because they offered custom options and/or tweaked some for their personal use.
I don’t, however, has any gut shots of the yet to be released model but I anticipate that it will be similar.
