LFO pedal info

Recommended Posts

I'd like to get a wobble on by controlling my Xerograph with a LFO pedal. I'm using an expression pedal to do this at the moment, but like the thought of an automatic preset wobble.

Are there any simple LFO pedals out there, ideally able to be powered with a standard 9v centre negative power supply?

Well, nothing back from Robot Factory :-(

In the meantime, I found The Broadcast, by CoPilot pedals, and I like it! It's got the following features:

- Expression pedal plugs into The Broadcast, and Broadcast plugs into the LPF
- In manual mode, the EP sweeps the LPF as normal
- Footswitch to LFO mode, and LFO sweeps the LPF
- EP can control LFO rate, or ratio (1, 2, 3, 4 or 0.5), selectable with toggle switch
- Other footswitch is tap tempo
- Range knob sets upper limit of sweep
- Wave knob goes from even sweep to wobble to random craziness

Can't wait!

have you not considered the Source Audio gear for this. very good for this. you will want to look at either a bass envelope filter pro, or the Manta filter, and consider the use of a hot hand. these things are amazing! http://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Soundblox_Manta_Filter.html

Have you considered Shep's MP-201 in the classifieds? It's the be all-end all of expression pedals.

I bet those are two tonnes of fun, but that one has sold - besides, my new LFO is being built as we speak :-)

I'll report back once I've recieved the Broadcast and hooked it up to my LPF

I used to use a CP251 when i had a buncha foogers. Litening to the co pilot broadcast demo video made me think of it; cracking bit of gear!!

The replacement Broadcast has arrived and tap tempo and everything else working fine.
I've done a quick vid to show the very basics of what it does, with some oscillation fun at the end to show the different waveforms. Sorry it's so quiet, just the ipad mic.
As you can see, I put on my best socks and work trousers :-D

Excellent!

I also have a Broadcast pedal on the way... exciting!

Would be interested to hear what you manage to get up to with this setup...

Cool, it's lots of fun. The video I linked to above gives a good idea of the types of things I'm planning to do with this setup.
