looking at a new technical sound

hi guys, looking at producing a very technical sound!

first of all, i have just researched/purchased a moogerfooger mf101 (low pass filter) and a moog ep-2 expression pedal.

the effect i am trying to achieve is the same sound as the synth here:



skip to 2:42

along with the moog filter and expression pedal (which will be used to control the cutoff frequency) i have looked into some other pedals that would give the bass a more 'sawtooth' waveform sound, (listen back to the track in link, for the metallic and raspy high end but deep and reverbed low end)

the pedals i have looked into are:
MXR Bass octave Deluxe (to give me the higher frequencys)
Guyatone TZ2 Fuzz (which creates a sawtooth waveform)
reverb (which would you suggest for the same sound as the track?)

what other pedals would you suggest to get that sound?

Cheers in advance!! ;)
 
The octave pedal will give you an octave below what you play, lower not higher.

The M288 Bass Octave Deluxe is a dual-voice octave pedal that offers analog tone, true bypass, and a variety of tonal options. MXR's 18 volt Constant Headroom Technology™ provides high headroom and superior tracking. Use the Dry knob to mix in your direct signal, and hit the Mid+ switch to add up to +14dB of internally adjustable mid frequencies (400Hz or 850Hz). Finally, mix in two separately controlled octave voices—Growl (for throaty tone) and Girth (for deep tone).

bass open E is 40Hz

is there any method of getting higher sounding frequencies? i heard roundwound strings can give higher frequencies
