Title: Digitech synth Wah (no, I don´t want to clone it!)
Post by: markusw on July 01, 2004, 01:25:40 PM
Most likely a stupid Q again: does anybody know how to get that synth sound with analog stompboxes??

I will take a stab and say you may be able to get close with a fuzz, green ringer, and an envelope filter.  I dunno... Alot going on there.  Those pedals are very cool.

I'd guess a splitter, one signal going to a fuzz and a formant "vocal" filter, the other signal going to a octave divider. Both signals then summed.

hm...i guess an envelope filter with a blue box?
i mean blue box gets it close i think...

those first two sounds are real nice, if i haven't seen the "digitech" sign, i would not even have guessed it was a digital synth. :P ..

but the last two.. yuck~

Wow. Thanks for your answers. A guy in a local music store told me, that the synth wahs (both guitar and bass) are best sold pedals from the digitech line.  Obviously, sometimes its easier to go with digital pedals (at least when considering the pedal board space used). When you say fuzz and envelope filter do you mean in series or do you mean to put the fuzz in the fx loop of e.g. a Meatball?
