Sign in to disble this ad
What pedals can do a good sawtooth or ramp up waveform and track the input pitch well? I can deal with "sounds like" the waveform, the way some fuzzes "sound like" a squarewave.
The two options I know of are:
Moog FreqBox which is high on my list to try, and the Chunk Systems OS which I have no interest it in. Are there other pedals I am overlooking?

I am looking for a synth ocillator sound.

It sounds like what is needed is the actual oscillator sound of a sawtooth or ramp that follows the pitch of a note played on the bass. This is really, really hard to do, especially without pitch tracking problems. Definitely heading into synth territory here....

| | | | if you have a bigger budget, i recommend the eventide pitchfactor. has all the waveforms u mentioned under the synthonizer and more.
synthwise, it has additive and subtractive synthesis and a filter as well. i hook it up with a MF101 and it sounds really awesmoe.
if i have the time i'll post some clipz upz. |

You can get good results from fuzzes with lots of high frequency content like the Fender Blender or Ampeg Scrambler. They'll give filters downstream more to sweep across (making the filter action clearer) and the high frequency response is tamed by controlling what a low pass or band pass filter is chopping off the signal. |

Less fun, but more useful to me.

But my brief time with the SYB-5 left me very disappointed in it as a standalone.
But I am curious if anyone is using either SYB pedal as a waveform generator as part of a larger synth setup. |

bjazzman has a freqbox i believe. |

Best pedal I have ever bought. Excluding a tuner. They should be mandantory for all. |

Calibre - Drop it Down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lwq2...eature=related
I know from years of producing DNB that what you do is detune two basslines on top of each other to get this effect where the wobble is faster for higher frequencies and slower for lower frequencies.
I too am searching to recreate this w. my bass as well as that wobble on the SYB-5 video for my dub reggae project. It is a bitch.
Maybe a detune botique pedal I have not found yet.
ROTTERRAMONE - I have heard your **** on Dogsonacid. It is sick.
