Product overview
The Aguilar Filter Twin-2 is the upgraded version of the brand’s famed filter, developed with greater flexibility and musicality in mind. At its core are two filters moving in opposite directions: one sweeps up, the other sweeps down. The result is a unique, organic effect that shines both in solo playing and within a band mix.
Control is straightforward: you get independent knobs for filter sensitivity and sweep speed, plus a Blend control to mix in the dry and processed signals. This allows you to strike just the right balance between the natural voice of your bass and the colour of the effect.
Component quality also deserves a mention: the switches and pots are engineered to withstand the demands of regular gigging. Meanwhile, the sound remains clean and articulate even under higher gain, with minimal noise and full preservation of your playing nuances.
But what truly sets this model apart is the feeling of freedom it gives. With it, you’re not just changing your tone – you start treating your bass as a tool for creating moods. You can add a subtle breath into a groove or turn a line into a bold, memorable highlight of a track.
Who is it for?
The Aguilar Filter Twin-2 is an excellent choice for both players just beginning their journey with effects and experienced bassists. For newcomers, it’s easy to use, with instant results that don’t require endless tweaking. Hobbyists can broaden their tonal palette without diving into overly complex setups, while professionals will appreciate its depth and flexibility both live and in the studio.
It’s also a valuable tool for sound engineers and producers, helping bass parts stand out in a mix without overwhelming other instruments. For composers, it can become a source of fresh creative ideas, as filters like this often lead to inspiring, unexpected textures.
And of course, session musicians will value its versatility. With this pedal, you can seamlessly adapt to virtually any style – from smooth soul through to powerful alternative rock.
