Greg.Bassman Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Hi all. Ok so, I'm shopping for a Low pass filter (in the form of a stompbox). I have recently contacted Taylor at Iron Ether regarding a custom xerograph; with an expression (pedal) input for BOTH resonance and frequency (cut off). Sadly, he no longer offers custom jobs anymore. To my mind, the only company that offers such, is Moog with the MF-101; my complaint with this though, is that it's not true bypass, not to mention expensive! (unless you can convince me otherwise). Suggestions please? Cheers.Greg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfFrink Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Expression pedal control for both resonance and frequency. Seems like a tough one. Maybe the line-6 m-series has a low-pass model? You can control anything with an expression pedal on these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratman Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Talk to Tom at COG Effects. That'd be an easy build for him, and possibly pretty small too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Source Audio Manta? You can map the expression pedal to any knob (I think, hopefully a user or the manual can confirm). Not sure if you want to have two separate expression pedals, or one pedal operating both knobs simultaneously, but I wouldn't be surprised if both of these were possible with the Manta plus the MIDI hub. Plus you get an awesome envelope filter and distortion unit thrown in for the price of entry. Edited December 11, 2015 by dannybuoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 The Moog is the only commercial one, other then the Dreadbox offering, but there is little report as to how that performs as yet. The Moog IS NOT expensive. I'd expect it to be cheaper than any custom offering. I had a custom Xero and it will set you back much more than a stock one obviously. Tom at COG will likely be able to cook up a killer custom LPF, but again, if you think the Moog is expensive, you may be put off. As for true bypass... So? Why do you need it? The Moog has an always active drive section so couldn't be true bypass. It's designed to always add that analogue warmth and grit to your tone. I love the moog, it's immense. Adding TB would ruin it!

xgsjx Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) I'd try the Moog. I often wish I never sold mine. Edited December 11, 2015 by xgsjx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg.Bassman Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 Awesome. Thank you all. This is some great feedback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Many of the Sansamp pedals feature a low pass filter - sometimes called that, sometimes 'Rumble filter' and on the VT Bass DI, it's part of the 'Bite' function. Also the Radial Bassbone pedals have this feature. I think as an adjustable high pass filter. Worth checking out as you'd also get their DI, distortion and other features.

[/quote] Totally different filters - the OP is after a sweepable low pass filter to make wah-wah and womp-womp noises rather than a high pass filter designed to cut out subsonic rumble. However, something like a Thumpinator might be worth putting after the filter (as well as a limiter maybe) if you are doing some crazy resonant sweeps down low!

ProfFrink Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) Has anyone mentioned the 3leaf Wonderlove v2? Can do LPF and BPF controlled by either envelop (up and down sweep) or an expression pedal. Got mine just a week ago. It has some very nice tones and a lot of options but takes a while to understand how to dial in correctly. Still learning mine.
