Sawtooth and Ramp Up Waveforms?

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?

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.

Hmmm...Sounds like more than I need, but I am interested.

To get a sawtooth like response I'll run into a Superfuzz pedal. 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.

Also, even though they get poo-poo'ed around here a lot, both Boss SYB's have a sawtooth wave.

If you could actually get sounds like the one around 1:15 of this video, I'd snap one up. 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.

I have seriously considered it....I heard the beringher clone actually tracks better and sounds the same as the boss. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

I know exactly the sound you are looking for.

Digital - Gateman (keaton rmx)


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.
