Synth style filter pedal help?

[Hurb]

So I need some suggestions.
I currently use a kangra filter fuzz by walrus audio connected to an expression pedal for filter sweeps needed during certain songs. It's fine and may be the best a man can get. But I kinda Invision something self contained in expression/wah style enclosure. I don't really use the fuzz side of the pedal so it's taking up space. Trouble is I don't think I want a wah wah. In my head I want the kind of filtering that are used in synths or maybe more specifically a Roland TB 03. Think like acid house music or techno. So a treadle type pedal with resonance and cut off controls etc Is this available for us guitarists?

If you have any ideas holla!

Tycobrahe wah pedals do this lovely (if spenny): Wilson do a Freaker which is a copy. I'd really like one.

Out of interest, have you tried the filter on the Ottobit on an exp pedal? If memory serve, it gets pretty gnarly.

Also, could be a larf, maybe a bit big

This looks pretty ideal!

Yeah it's a beautiful filter! Unfortunately I use my current filter with a different fuzz. In the same song as I use the ottobit as a different fuzz. So I would kinda need two to make it work. Or presets and expression on the ottobit.

Yeah looks good but as you say probably too big.

First, great idea. I can say that a proper Low pass filter makes a HUGE difference compared to a wah, especially with a resonance control. I wanted to put our Happiness pedal in a wah enclosure SO BAD but the parts were expensive and shitty from our suppliers. Never panned out, obviously.

ugh, Wilson now do a mini Freaker too. http://www.wilsoneffects.com/mini-freaker-wah-1

Yeah I saw that. I would be happy with either but trying to find one in this country is proving tricky.

This place does actual synth filters in pedals:

But none of them are expression pedals, and, weirdly, none have expression pedal inputs, either, I think?

They do a resonant filter pedal that does have control voltage input minijacks, but how you'd get those to work with an expression pedal I don't know.

If you wanted something more acid-y, There's a company out of Ukraine that doe an MS-20 filter pedal, the So High So Low

Cheers gang. I will definitely think about these in the future however I done and went a different route.
My pedals have been getting out of control and it's become a bit embarrassing tbh. So I have done and gone the modelling route. A good 80% of fashion tips tunes contain the zoom multistomps in some way or another. So it's not as if I am a analogue snob.
Been setting it up and I can get somewhere near to the filtering I was after using a combination of wah and filters blocks. Controlled with the express pedal.

I was wondering if a solution would look like this, but didn't suggest it because it sounded like you wanted a dedicated, small footprint fix.

Been meaning to dig out my pedalboard all week to see what can be done with stacked filters/wahs on the M13.

Yeah the only reason this worked out footprint wise is it's replacing loads of pedals rather than just one. Loving the switching possibilities. Making my life a lot easier hopefully!
This was the latest iteration which is why I needed to change!

Still of the opinion that every guitarist would be much happier if they just replaced their entire pedalboard with a RAT!

I would have to learn to play then!

lol kidding, but shoutouts to the HX MASSIVE.

Fucking love the Stomp on my board; does all modulation and reverb, and act as my amps at home, even with my dual signal setup thing. Best money I ever spent.

I'm curious that it seems to have replaced your fuzz!

We will see how we go, but so far its fine. I use a couple of heavily gated fuzzes normally and I haven't got the hx to do it work in exactly the same way. But I am mostly using the fuzz factory clone which gets me close at least at home. Practice tomorrow will let me know if it really is ok. But I am hopeful!


Yeah Doog! I've wanted one for ages but the cost has really made it a scary purchase. I had wanted to replace the zoom but certain things it just couldn't do the same.
But yeah so far I really love it. I quite enjoy programming it and am using midi to switch the presets on the zoom too.
