The Plague Bearer is called a filter, but that is just a description of the circuit topology, what it can actually do goes way beyond that. It has been described as a filter, a mangler, a crusher, and - my favorite - as an "fsu module".
It is a filter, but it does more (all at the same time, really ) excessive phase shifting, waveforming, ringing, formant generation etc..
It is designed to infect, corrupt and pervert a signal beyond recognition.
It is a voltage-controlled resonant bandpass filter, has controls for varying the high and low corner frequencies of the passband, as well as variable gain and an input attenuator. A single plague bearer can be used as a filter, an oscillator, a noise generator, or even as a resonance oscillator.
Depending on the settings, the filter can be a lowpass, highpass, single-bandpass, or multiple-bandpass. Adjust the resonance point to cause the filter to self-oscillate in many ways: by adjusting the controls to just below the point of oscillation, and then applying a pulse, square, or other abrupt-edged input signal waveform will "ring" the filter.
A simple "click" on the input can give a percussive output sound - from bass drum to bell to a harsh metallic clang; crank the controls up and this beast will scream like a banshee!
The oscillation can be damped or continuous. chain a couple in series and get accumulating feedback - the build-up can be slow, fast or instantaneous. White noise is easy to do - you don't even need an input signal! turn the input all the way down, and then slowly turn the gain up. Then you can adjust the "color" of the noise with the frequency controls. daisy-chaining multiple filters can give a "comb" or multi-phase noise.
