Dive into a world of sonic exploration with the Studio Electronics Boomstar Modular 3003 Filter Module. This distinctive Eurorack filter is more than just a piece of gear—it's a portal to a universe of rich, analog textures. With its voltage-controlled discrete analog 18 dB/oct ladder low-pass filter, this module delivers an iconic "Transistor Bass" sound that can swing from subtle to striking.

The 3003 filter stands out with its ability to shape dynamic tones, whether you're crafting a harsh, liquid, acid-like bassline or a smooth, rubbery SH-101 voice. It excels beyond the bass range, providing blistering leads and a warm, versatile VCF experience. Designed for precise control, the module features three attenuverter and four attenuation pots, giving you fluid, nuanced expression over FREQUENCY, RESONANCE, and more.

Switch between classic Minimoog FULL and HALF strength filter frequency settings for that round low end combined with brilliant highs. Additionally, the module offers seven patch points—including 1 V/O, FREQ CV 1, FREQ CV 2, RESO CV, INPUT, and dual OUTPUTs—allowing for deep sonic manipulation and creative patching possibilities. Whether you're a seasoned modular enthusiast or starting your synthesis journey, the Boomstar 3003 filter offers endless potential to shape your soundscapes.
