Yep, definitely, I mostly use the MF Drive with the drive switch in the high position and the gain low, there's not too much drive even then.
The tone control is really useful to further shape the sound and the peak switch is dialed in very well.

I also love the Xerograph Deluxe, it has the envelope features of course, both up and down and fast and slow sound awesome and it's just a great big and synthy sounding filter.

The BitQuest is great too as a sweep filter, maybe a bit more tricky to setup because the lowpass and highpass filters are in series so if you turn the high pass up too high you'll get more of a bandpass type effect and if you turn it down too low there aren't enough highs.

Overall these are my three favourite filters so far, they're all very powerful and can do some deep heavy and synthy sweeps.
I have an A/DA DI device so I could try to get something recorded, don't know how well it'll resemble the sound though, I'll try.

I ended up grabbing the Brain Freeze in b/s/t because the MS20 filter is awesome and I want something static for the most part, but this is all very good to know and the MF drive might end up on my bass vi board soon

Great score, the Brain Freeze is supposed to be really awesome too!
Let us know how it goes for you.

Just saw the Recovery Effects Dead Session. Could be neat, it has low pass and notch filters. No CV though (but I am sure it could be added). Seemed like it had a moderate range from the demo. I couldn't really tell the full range because there was too many two knobs at once tweaks. And both filters were on at once. Any body used it yet?

Congrats on the Brain Freeze. I always liked the MS20 filter too.

Sorry, true, we've discussed it before in this thread and apparently there's a way to dial it in with trimpots on the inside or something.
