Sound of a synth

[Atk]

Ola a todos...

I'd like to know if exist an analogic pedal that emulate the sound of a synth or a brass (like trombone, trumpet) for my guitar...

Is it possible?

Well, it is said that the original "Maestro" fuzz pedal was intended as an attempt to make a guitar sound like a brass instrument. The 'Bass Brassmaster' is slightly more sophisticated, clipping the signal and then passing it through a bandpass filter.

Generally, that's the most obvious approach - clip the signal to increase harmonic content and sustain, and then filter it with a graphic or parametric EQ. This could give you the sound you're after.

I wonder if anyone has tried to do a monophonic version of the old Roland GR-300 guitar synth. I've had one for years, and I still think it does a cool analog version of a trumpet. Just listen to all those old Pat Metheny records...

I know this topic is ancient, but still, people like me looking for tips on brass sounds might find it through the search function...

Fuzz octaver into envelope filter might work. Check out: http://youtu.be/2fgIQhZ60L8

If it were all only so easy!

Tracking there is pretty impressive.
I personally only have interest in monophonic output.
In my mind, with a hexaphonic pickup that merely has each string with the proper static filtering of harmonics specific for each string, and then all 6 strings mixed, you'd get great results....
But theres always a compromise outside of cloning the Roland.....
Really, I think it's essence is more worthy of duplication, maybe not it's VCOs.  But that's a whole separate thing.  All but nobody is really doing that entire...it's a lot of work!  
IF I weren't left handed, and cheap, and in love my with my #1 guitar, which is a 335 (read: not worth further pickup drama), etc, it'd be a no-brainer to do a hexaphonic guitar for all the stuff I do, even if at some point, it mixed down to monophonic.
Kinda have a work-around idea but haven't had the motivation to do more than simulate it and tweak it in that domain.
