Programmable Filter search continues...

I still need a programmable filter pedal. Ideally it will do both low pass and band pass but that's not a deal breaker. It needs a good envelope follower, exp control of cutoff would be a plus, LFO would be nice if it's got tap tempo or can sync to MIDI clock.

I tried the Manta, didn't work for me, couldn't dial in the sounds I wanted, tried the Wahoo, sounded like tone suck all the time, tried the Octavius Squeezer and loved the sounds it made but it was a bit of a black box I guess, no exp pedal control, changing programs, tapping tempo and using the MOD function was too difficult live with just two footswitches.

Is there anything else I could try?

 

I've got an H9, not at all keen on the filter though. Might have to look up the Möbius...

 

Wow that Moonwind thing is massive!

 

I've thought about it but I have enough gear to lug without adding a rack. And our rehearsal space is up three flights of stairs...

 

The Adrenalinn has been recommended to me before but it looked a bit too guitar-oriented for me, I'll have another look though.

The BEF Pro while it might sound different to the Manta I don't think would offer me enough options really. I don't know, might be worth trying out if I find one in a store.

 

Out of interest do you know if there's any lag when switching between presets or is it instant?

 

I had a scan through the manual and the variety of modulation options for the filter has got me interested, I'll need a Softstep or something to really use it live but that will come in handy for my H9 and my Future Impact too so may be worth doing anyway.

 

I was looking at that yesterday but I'd need a MIDI to CV converter to get the most out of it. Cool pedal though.

 

The Manta really disappointed me. The whole biz wth the hub and stuff I thought would solve loads of issues I always have but I just couldn't get any sounds I liked out of the pedal.
