I saw a video of the LP on youtube. Is there any way to make the filter overload like that? I thought about the mix/in but thats just for the oscillators, right? Any ideas?

Download “Kicking It Up A Notch” on SquareWave. It’s in the Voyager FYI folder.

Thanks Greg. I’ve tried that when I first got the EB. I’ll do it again. Is it really the same effect?

na its not the same at all. only the lp will overdrive like that. its amazing what that one dial does.
Can’t say for sure (I don’t have an LP to compare), but the idea is the same: pre-filter distortion and post-filter soft clipping (overdrive). You can use various techniques to boost the oscillator level in the Mix/Out loop (tube preamps/stomp boxes) to provide the pre-filter distortion, and then place another effect device on the Voyager’s output (like an amp/cabinet simulator or overdrive pedal) to get post-filter clipping.
Will this produce exactly the same result as you’d get from the LP? Probably not, because there are too many variables (choice of effect devices, levels and drive settings, etc.), but it may get close enough for your needs.
Of course, you could always purchase an LP…

The filter will overload pretty well using a standard stereo to mono cable to create a feedback loop, Have a look here http://controlvoltage.info/?p=14, the youtube video is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEhqSeV_-Cg&(it has it on the blog post but you miss the popup messages which are informative)
