Sherman Efectos Booster Boost Effects Pedals

The original Filterbank was succeeded by the Filterbank 2, which is offered in Desktop, Compact and Rack formats. The unit is prized for its aggressive resonance, distortion character, and willingness to be pushed to extremes both on stage and in the studio, and has become a fixture in the toolkits of producers working in electronic, industrial, and experimental genres.

The Filterbank has been cited as a studio tool by a wide range of artists across electronic and rock music, including William Orbit, Fatboy Slim, Fluke, BT, Trent Reznor, Tony Visconti, and Billy Corgan, contributing to Sherman's reputation as a niche but influential boutique builder.
