Does such a pedal exist?

Sign in to disble this ad
I was thinking something like a filter pedal that would also have like a "wave" similar to what flanger or phaser pedals do. But unlike flanger pedals, I want this "wave" to start every time I hit the string. I was thinking that maybe pigtronix envelope phaser can do something similar, but I didn't find any samples with long single notes that would demonstrate that so far. Any suggestions? Thanks!

aside from the one mentioned, i THINK the eventide modfactor can do this, but this is second hand information. perhaps someone with one knows.

Thanks for the hint. I also was looking for something like this (modulation effects processor with presets), but have never considered this option.

Yes the EP-2 has a staccato function that does this

It's my understanding that staccato mode on the EP-2 just quickly decays the sweep when you stop playing to give you a quick envelope response/reset.

OP, the "wave" you're talking about -- the sweep in modulation pedals -- is done with a low frequency oscillator (LFO). I suspect that the Copilot FX Telescope and Iron Ether Bubble Chamber (in pitch-tracking LFO mode) may both do what you want (reset the LFO when a new note is played), but I can't confirm it and neither is out yet. Also, they're both resonant filters, not modulation pedals.

No idea if the Eventide Modfactor can do it. I checked out the manual and it does have envelope controlled LFO rates, but I don't know for sure if they restart completely when you play a new note.

It sounds like you're looking for an auto-wah that also has an envelope sensitivity control. To my knowledge, the Akai Variwah is the only pedal that does this.

There may be others, I just don't know about them.

Good luck.

moogerfrooger low pass filter with the a patch cable from the envelope filter to one of the other dingles, not really a wave but if you have an expression pedal hooked up to it. also look up the new ibanez pedal made for paul gilbert. Its omazing.

I'd like to find a pedal like this, too. All of the envelope phasers I've tried only sweep once in envelope mode, like an envelope filter. IS there a modulation pedal that will continuously sweep when you hold a note or chord, but will go back to the starting point of the sweep every time you hit a new note or chord?

I have seen envelope filters before. Give you that wah-wah sound but every time you hit a note automatically?

Like this one maybe?

Doesn't the MXR Bass Auto Q do something like that? It's basically a touch sensitive filter + an auto wah.

Not exactly what you specified, but perhaps the Tychobrahe Pedalflanger would give you control over the flange shape the way you're thinking?
