UPDATE: I did a whupsie - I reversed the timings. 00:20 is actually the thru hole, and 4:30 is SMD. Ignore the on-screen legend for those two...sorry.
I've had an SMD version of the Random*Source Serge Resonant EQ for some time, and have been curious to know whether the older thru-hole version had a significantly different sound. I recently ran across one for sale, so here we are.
This is basically me trying to figure out how they're different, and whether I have a preference. Ideally I'd only keep one, but....
Source oscillator is an Acid Rain Chainsaw in single saw mode.
Sequence from Stochastic IG. Envelope from Zadar.
00:00 Intro
00:20 TH self-oscillation
04:03 SMD Self-oscillation
07:27 Sequence
13:55 Faster sequence
