1. Subsequently the conquering of a couple of other pedal, I am thinking about starting to exploring making multiple pedal effects chains to exist able to a variety of synth and nice combination for experimentation. I know very little about this, and the effects of lowpass filters, filters, band modulators and what non so I am unsure if this is something I will be able to pursue successfully as information technology appears one really has to know the basics of what all of these do to be effective at it.

   Listening to sound clips of various pedals, it appears the Moog Lowpass Filter is the initial direction I wish to go in sound wise, but the initial cost tag of over $200.00 is imposing to a poor fellow like me. Then are there any similar, less expensive pedals that would exist practiced to learn on that have the same basic part?

5. I'd besides exist interested in this. But a unproblematic low pass filter in a smaller enclosure would be perfect.

9. If you don't heed going rack, I'd definitely recommend a used Electrix Filter Factory. Sounds great.

13. I've been considering the Electrix, since I don't gig live anymore. Seems a reasonable price.

    I merely wasn't certain if they had the same basic function. "Lowpass filter", "Filter" "envelope filter" and "envelope follower" are a flake disruptive to me.

18. This might exist a dumb suggestion depending on your situation, only IF you have a adept Laptop, try out the Saturation Plugs in Ableton Live Light which you tin can get for $99 or with probable, with any good A/D converter similar the Novation...

22. Good luck.

    There is the MS-20 obviously. Clones of it include the Robot Factory Brain Freeze and this, a 9volt clone:

    

30. EBS Wah Ane is worth a shot too.

34. How about the Electrix Filter Queen?

38. Not to toot my own pedal or anything, but the Proton Pack from Mario at Robot Factory is the all-time LPF I have ever played or heard. Check my thread, "Proton's Treck Through The Broad World Of Effects". Information technology is all I could ever desire in a LFP, and information technology is smaller than the Moog.

42. I am but reposting for emphasis, as information technology seems peope are recomending $450.00 LPF's to me:Then, am I to get together that I will be stuck putting out at to the lowest degree the $200.00 for the Moog?

47. Fifty-fifty the Brain Freeze is considerably more expensive than the Moog though unfortunately, fifty-fifty if you can find a used one.

    For the OP's awarding and needs, the Moog is actually the best its going to get in stompbox form unless you start going up in price, and even then its debatable. The Electrix filters seem to exist a bit more than accessible and sound pretty good based on the clips I've heard, as well as the added versatility. I've heard mixed reviews well-nigh the WahOne for this stuff, but RCCollins seems to like the new StanWah, I don't know much near it other than that and its advertised modes..

    If I were in your shoes, I'd check out one of the Electrix filters or relieve for the Moog.

    *Edit*

    Aye, or a rack unit.

55. I will be releasing a small lowpass pedal very soon. Tentatively plan on a frequency knob, a resonance knob, and an input for an expression pedal, in a box approximately 3" ten 4". Price TBA, but considerably less than the Moog.

    Anybody have any other thoughts on what they'd want to run into in this?

59. Cool. I'll wait to come across what you do. I would make recomendations, but don't know enough about them to do so.

    Thanks!

63. ^^^A drive knob like on the Moog would be dainty. I'd say skip whatever envelope features to keep it inexpensive. Also make certain to have a blend knob on there.

    To the OP: In the world of pedals, specially synth pedals, the Moog LPF is not too expensive and is pretty much the cheapest option for the features it has unless conical johnson is in the mood to sell y'all one...

67. It was my assumption that the drive knob was there mainly for getting the proper level into the effect no matter whether you're plugging microphone level, line level, or instrument level gear into information technology. Is that the characteristic you want, or do yous desire some overdrive (which I have heard some people talk nearly with the Moog drive control)?

    I'1000 in the minority for hating the Moog LPF. The bypass was embarrassing. When people talk most poor, tone-sucking bypass this would be the poster child. Really bad enveloper. Combine that with the size and it was a huge plow off, regardless of the sound. You'll need an expression to sweep it manually. To get the most out of it you really need a robust CV controller which is expensive.

    Rack filters are much more than versatile, though you'll need some way to sweep them manually if that'southward your thing - MIDI foot controller or CV control which the Electrix filters still support. Simply really the rack products aren't that slap-up either. The Filter Factory has no presets so you can't pre-program it. So unless y'all're using it with a sequencer or other controller that tin transport a TON of MIDI CC data yous're left to fairly basic operations alive. And you can't stack the envelope follower with the LFO, and the enveloper isn't that bully either (two controls - whether it's on, and how much depth it effects), though it'southward much more usable than the Moog enveloper since it closes fairly quickly and responds pretty well to the actual assault. But for straight manual sweeps it's good, and y'all tin get some proficient, basic LFO out of it, and it's SUPER easy to employ. It's stereo, too, if that's your thing.

    I currently have a MAM Warp ix that has a TON more functionality, including presets, but it's a monster PITA to understand and program. Sounds great though, you become envelope ASDR with a ton of triggering options (1st trigger, 2nd, etc., trigger computed against LFO, all sorts of goodies), plus a ton of LFO options including stepped interval waves. Tons of good stuff if you i) find one to buy and don't heed paying $350+ for one two) can figure out how to plan it 3) figure out how to bypass information technology since there's no remote/MIDI controllable bypass built in, so you need to buy another piece of gear just to turn it on/off in your signal chain.

    With LPF filters there's a serious lack of really great solutions in pedal or rack form. They all have a lot of cons to keep with their pros.

    I'm currently researching software filters in hopes of finding something that'south fifty-fifty better than the Warp 9. Then I'll stick a laptop in my furnishings loop and control it with my MIDI human foot controller. Keen thing about software is in that location's a TON more than options, there's current development where total featured rack filters seem like a expressionless production category (you lot're ownership products from companies that don't even be anymore), you tin can stack them, salve presets, get a dainty visual GUI to work with instead of whatever cryptic interface hardware provides. Guitar Rig 4 really has some seemingly EXCELLENT modulation support with envelope ASDR, input envelope, 12-step sequencer, all of which tin can be applied to any control in whatever other slice of gear - amps, furnishings, filters, whatever. Apply information technology to a volume pedal, filter cutoff, multiple things simultaneously. Actually genius stuff and super easy to use cheers to a direct frontward GUI.

    In case yous tin can't tell I've been disappointed my my filtering gamble. Braggadocio!

    *LOVE* my fooger, and I can punch in a killer PF 'Flashlight' tone in an instant. W00t!

80. I retrieve you are making a large fault not to buy the moogerfooger 101 considering of price. The features on the pedal make this non only a well to practice stand alone but as an important asset to other pedals every bit well. For one thing you have the capabilities to use four expression pedals. This combination gives you alot of possibilities. I love the sub qualities and the employ with some other pedal say an octave or some other envelope filter sounds massive. But I hold its far from being a true featherbed pedal. A pedal switcher with this pedal is near a must.

84. Here are some related products that TB members are talking nigh. Clicking on a product will have yous to TB'south partner, Principal, where you can find links to TB discussions well-nigh these products.
