Electrix Filter Queen
A half-rack analogue filter from the Electrix line, with an envelope follower, an LFO and an expression-pedal input. On my table now.
The Filter Queen is a half-rack analogue filter from Electrix, the performance line IVL Technologies made in Victoria, British Columbia, around 1999 to 2002: a resonant filter with an envelope follower, an LFO and an input for an expression pedal, made to be played rather than programmed.
I use three of the Electrix boxes now: the Filter Queen, and the Filter Factory and Mo-FX. I never used the Repeater, the looper in the line; two people I played with did, Brandt Passalacqua and Gregory Cage.
The lineThe Electrix performance line, from IVL Technologies in Victoria, British Columbia, around 1999 to 2002: the Repeater, a four-track loop sampler; the Filter Queen, a half-rack analogue filter; the Filter Factory, a full-size stereo analogue filter; the Warp Factory, a vocoder; the Mo-FX, a tempo-synced multi-effect; the EQ Killer, a three-band isolator. The line was discontinued in 2002.
All three nowadays, and I have a lot to say about them.

My thoughts
The line is as the Electrix units are documented; which of them are on my table is as I said on September 26, 2026.
