I don’t think EHX ever made a sample+hold filter

it was probably a Maestro or Oberheim like this:

Yes:

you can get similar sounds with the SubDecay Prometheus (which I have and love):

It’s not truly as random, because it works based off of patterns. The LFO steps, but since the speed and step controls are interactive, it can skip steps and make it sound more random. What’s cool is when you crank the step knob it smooths out into a smooth wave so you can get some nice modulation tones from pseudo-phaser to pseudo-trem. But since it’s a filter it has it’s own thing going to it.

It’s a very EHX-like pedal in that there are a TON of sounds in there and the knobs have pretty extreme ranges.

That wouldn’t be too nice to SubDecay would it? Though a sample and hold of some sort with their own EHX twist would rock.

SubDecay’s a really cool company BTW. My favorite small builders are SubDecay and CopilotFX. They just put out really unique and really cool stuff. I want to get an F Bomb and a Flying Tomato.

The description on their website of the F-Bomb is awesome: “Turning this thing on is like running naked in to the boardroom and punching ‘the man’ in the face.”
