Filter section of ehx bms in a pedal

[ryan0583]

Hey,

I've currently got a bass microsynth on my board. It's great, but ive recently got a gated fuzz which i'm using with an octaver instead of the voicing section on the bms. I never use the attack delay function, so i'm only really using the filter section. As the pedal is quite large, and requires it's own power supply, i've been trying to find a small 9v stompbox that can do the job of the filter section.

Does anyone have any recomendations for pedals that would be good for this?

Are there any cheaper/smaller ones? Those are pretty much all I can find.

No, but there is a schematic of the filter section from a Korg MS20 that someone one here (SilentFly, Umph etc) could probably build for you.

In the world of Low Pass Filters, there aren't many choices.

This thread just led me to the Robot Factory website! Some interesting stuff on there!

All great, but sadly none of those are triggered pseudo-ADSR filters like the one in the BMS. I wish EHX would put that filter out as a standalone, preferably with presets for all the params and a dozen storable patches. Tap tempo for the time slider would make it particularly desirable. It's quite a unique filter really.

thisnameistaken - I modded my BMS to be controlled with an expression pedal and that's what I was thinking of but you're totally right; the sweep filter in the BMS is unique in a sometimes-restrictive but always-unique way.

I had thought of trying the enigma qballs, since you can set the start and stop frequency and the rate, similar to the bms. This seems to be the only filter pedal with these sorts of controls.
