Voice Box – inspired by Vocoders, Vocal Tracts & Surgical Tubing

This model gives your guitar a sound that’s typical of a classic “talk box.” The FREQ knob picks a start vowel (a, e, i, o, u), and

the Q knob picks a stop vowel (a, e, i, o, u). MODE chooses between the Automatic and Pedal modes - you choose one of four

settings for shifting back and forth between vowel one and two automatically at the speed set by the SPEED control. Or, select

Pedal mode for expression pedal control of the shift. This effect, like other talking pedal effects, sounds particularly great with a

distortion pedal in front of it. SPEED sets how long it takes to “speak” from one vowel to the other in Automatic mode.

Obi-Wah – based on Oberheim

Voltage Controlled Filter

Sample and Hold ﬁlters create changes in tone by randomly emphasizing certain frequencies. With the Obi-Wah model, the

MODE knob gives you the option to effect the high, low, or middle frequencies of your tone. If this seems daunting to under-

stand at ﬁrst, just close your eyes, Luke, and use The Force… FREQ sets the area of frequency where the ﬁlter will change your

tone. Q controls the width of the ﬁlter. SPEED sets the rate of the random ﬁlter changes. MODE selects the type of ﬁlter effect:

Low Pass (reduces high frequencies), Band Pass (emphasizes mid frequencies), or High Pass (reduces bass).

Seeker – inspired by the Z-Vex Seek Wah

The Seek Wah is a box that contains 8 “parked wah” ﬁlters that can be set at varying positions and then sequenced through,

creating a pulsating hypnotic vibe (with no detectable side effects!). In our ode to this unique creation, we give you the Seeker.

Here’s how it works: FREQ lets you select from a range of different patterns of sequenced wah ﬁlter positions. Turn slowly to

ﬁnd the preset that works best for your tune. Q sets the width of the ﬁlters. SPEED, as on the original, controls the rate (time)

that it takes to cycle through the ﬁlters. MODE sets the number of ﬁlter steps in the sequence. The Seek Wah lets you choose

4, 6, or 8. The Seeker allows any choice from 2 to 9 steps – Hello, odd time signatures!

Tron Up/Tron Down – inspired by the Mu-Tron

III

What self-respecting ﬁlter-junkie would be without an envelope follower? Part auto-wah, part triggered ﬁlter, it’s all about wacky,

and your Filter Modeler gives it to you both coming and going. Go ahead – unbutton that shirt, put on the ﬂares, and get down

with your bad self! You’ve got your choice of Tron Down and Tron Up, to get you both ﬂavors of this effect a la the original.

FREQ determines how far apart the high and low points of the ﬁlter sweep will be. Q sets the width of the ﬁlter. SPEED selects

High or Low frequencies for the focus of the ﬁlter effect. MODE selects the type of ﬁlter effect (Low Pass, Band Pass, or High

Pass).
