HPF and LPF Pedals ?

Signal Filter – TRICKFISH AMPLIFICATION

The seperate switches for LPF and HPF are a very nice touch. Could be the reason to abandon the Broughton.

Sine Effect Pedals make HPF, LPF, and combined HPF/LPF. I think the builder can customise. Email to find out.

Stupid question: the Broughton HPF is -12 dB per octave, VS -24 dB per octave for the Sine Effect H24.

Does it mean the later is "better"?

It is steeper, not better. Different.
For example the Noble or the Sushi Nobelium have the HPF at 90Hz at 6dB. Higher frequency, less steep, different characteristic.

The inexpensive Broughton Buffer Bandwidth Amplifier has a fixed HPF and LPF, but I don’t know the frequency cutoffs.

Trickfish has an LPF/HPF in a pedal. I've never used it, but if it is like their amps (very high quality) it should be a good one.

That looks good, if a little pricey. The 24 dB/octave slope is excellent; I kinda wish the Broughton had that, but I did get a decent deal on it used and local, so no complaints.

Sine Effect also has LPF and HPF pedals as well, a long with a variety of EQ options. I've been using them for quite some time and I'm very happy with them.

The inexpensive Broughton Buffer Bandwidth Amplifier has a fixed HPF and LPF, but I don’t know the frequency cutoffs.

The consensus is that it filters out frequencies under 20 Hz and over 20 kHz.
Broughton's instagram post pretty much confirms this:
"It filters out frequencies outside the 20 to 20k Hz range for signal optimization."

BBA is a perfect pair with HPF / HPF+LPF.

Put BBA at the start of your signal chain to filter out all the unwanted sub and ultra frequencies, set your overall gain and then at the end of the chain, fine tune the low (and/or high) frequencies depending on the room or your preferences. Excellent signal hygiene.

What I find very useful feature is the gain/boost control for the high pass filter...

Thank you all for answers. İ ll look into your suggestions and mentioned Threads

+1 on the Broughton - if I could only have one pedal, this is it.

I use the Broughton "always-on" HPF because (1) I don't feel the need for a LPF; (2) it's the most inexpensive among the Broughton models (70 USD last I checked); and (3) I never saw the need to have it in a pedal version: It's not the kind of "effect" I'd ever want to turn on and off during a set.

One other difference between the Broughton HPF pedal and always-on version is that the adjusting knob on the pedal version is labeled with numbers, but not on the always-on version. I don't miss having the numbers because I set the cutoff by ear anyway.

Sine Effect can customize it for you.
See this one that has three different selectable slopes:

A less aggressive HPF could result in a more natural sound effect maybe? 'cause the Noble has 6 dB at 90 Hz and that allows for a big bass boost that is tamed by the HPF. I guess at 24 dB this might not work?

I carry an Fdeck series 1 HPF in each bass case. They're inexpensive, batt powered with a couple hundred hours battery life. I always use it and run it in the FX loop, don't have to run power to it. I have a Broughton L/HPF on my pedalboard when I use pedals. I think the HPF is useful more of the time than a LPF. LPF is great for managing my on/off tweeters, though.

Can't edit this but I started putting HPF into the front of the amp(no more in FX), so I send HPFed signal to FOH.

 

[ValerieK]

Most modelers and multifx have them, even the cheap ones from Zoom give you a bunch of options.

I have (and use) the Broughton Audio Low + High Pass Filter and the Broughton Audio Resonant Filter Equalizer, but my favorite is the Anolog Music Company So High So Low.

I use a lowly Zoom B1 Four, exclusively for faux cab sim HPF and LPF.

12dB/Oct @ 40 Hz HPF -> 12dB/Oct @ 40 Hz HPF -> Parametric EQ set to 16kHz Q=1 -20dB -> Parametric EQ set to 20kHz Q=0.5 -20dB -> 12dB/Oct @ 10kHz LPF

I have experimented a lot with different IR based cab sims and various digital analog EQ filters for cab sims, and above is by far the greatest sounding result I ever got.

You'd probably ask yourself why I just don't use a double LPF instead of the parametric EQ's. but it just doesn't result in the exact same EQ/frequency response curve, and doesn't sound the same, believe me, I have tried.

But I can reveal as much as that the upper -3dB cut off point is located just around 4/4.5 kHz.
