very pleasant sounding

Very strange filter that causes a signal to distort and gives it a kinda strange warbling sound. My own unit of this module is seemingly defective, however that also adds to the strange and intense sound. It is very warm and can kinda be soft sounding on lower gain and resonance settings however since I don't have a proper module set up yet so I may change my mind on the filter although I see it as being very nice.
