    I wonder if the latch mode on SuperEgo works also like on the normal Freeze… that you don’t have to stand on the pedal?

    And can I use the pedals in the loop without SuperEgo working? Any bypass function? Or just turning the effect knob down?

    Hi! I’m new to this forum but I decided to share with you all my idea (sorry for poor english btw). So i was rehersing with my band when I came with this idea for a dubstep “wob – wob” effect :). Something like wah wah pedal but its more like foot controlled low pass filter i think. It would be perfect for this slow wob things but when it comes to a fast crazy like wobble its unpractical. You can do somthing like tremollo with a adjustable rate but i think it would be better if it would be somthing like auto wah but regulating this low pass filter. Oh and I forgot to say I play guitar, but we tune to drop A so i would be perfect to have somthing like that distorted :). Another thing it can have is a little bit of flanger but i can add a flanger after this pedal. So in my opinion it would be best in this form:

    An autowah-like low pass filter in three modes:
    1. auto wah mode
    2. tremolo mode (adjustable speed or tap tempo)
    3. foot controll mode

    I’m suprised that many people came up with the same idea but it only proves that such a pedal would be a good hit. And the EHX company is the best brand to invent this kind of crazy pedal, like all of their series.

    Cheers!

    I’ve had a similar idea for a while.

    What I’d like is basically a LPF Crybaby with LFO. A design that is cool and simple, like crybaby, which operates smoothly like Ernie Ball volume pedal and has a switch which changes what parameters the pedal controls. One of them would be rate which controls the speed of the LFO wobble, the other one would be LPF cutoff which is helpful if you have all the fuzz and other stuff on but want to play very low and fat sounding bass groove only to bring in those crazy high sounds at specific moments with the pedal.
    The same parameters would be controllable with knobs + other necessary LFO and LPF controls.

    The other idea is a full on wobble pedal, a similar design but with a panel like Digitech Whammy. It has the the same functions but also an octave (at least 1 down) function with dry/wet control and a gated fuzz which are before the LPF and LFO controls. That way you can get authentic wobble with only one pedal + many other cool funky and synthy sounds. Also an effect input would be cool, for example adding ring modulator pedal between fuzz and LPF. That way there would be endless possibilities for synth sounds. It would be cool if it has many different LFO wave forms and with different envelope patterns. Tap for LFO rate would be neat too.

    The best way to get a wobble bass is octave pedal (dry signal zero, 1 octave down maxed) -> fuzz -> lowpass filter with envelope function, John Davis from Nerve sounds incredible with his OC-2 -> Wooly Mammoth -> Moogerfooger MF-101.

    I haven’t tried it yet but I guess EHX Q Balls should do the same thing as the Moogerfooger.

    But I discovered another cool way with my guitar rig. Octave pedal->Octave fuzz->Wah->Ring Thing in factory patch 7 (an octave tuned down).
    With bass there’s no need for an octave pedal in front. Regular fuzz is fine too but octave fuzz works better. You have to do the wobbling with the wah.
    It works because the Ring Thing acts sort of an lowpass filter with the Wah which brings in the higher frequencies by pressing down to get the whole filter wobble thing going on.
    Instead of Ring Thing some sort of an pitch shifter which does a natural (not synthetic like Boss octave pedal) sounding octave pitch down and is tracking well should work too. Some sort of EQ pedal would be helpful too as the Ring Thing makes the sound darker when you tune the pitch down with it.
