Left Foot Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Anyone know any cheaper alternatives on the market that comes close to the effects you can get from the Zvex SuperSeek Wah, SupperSeek Trem or Superringtone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) No, but I wish I did. I've been getting away with a square wave trem (Earthquaker Devices Hummingbird clone) and a cheap Wah pedal, but the Seek Wah is a triumph of modern engineering!

GarethFlatlands Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 The Line 6 M series has a version of the Seek Wah but the filter settings are in set patterns, they're not individually settable so you're stuck with what they give you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Foot Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Not bad idea Paul, but id love a crisp transfer between sequences. Cheers gareth, can you slow the sequence down at all? Hey what about the boss splicer? Could that give you freedom over the phase lengths and their filter settings?

Left Foot Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 Big Red, thanks dude. Just googled, watched some demos and got one from eBay! It looks like a nightmare to underatand properly (like most multi effects) but ill enjoy figuring it out, nice one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaNoFuNkY Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 You could use the EHX 8 Step programme into any envelope filter or trem that takes expression input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartelby Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) The Zoom B3 has a Sequenced Filter.

Left Foot Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Only if you've got the time and inclination to know yourself Gareth. Im smitten with this Adrenalinn pedal, got alot going for it and ive done some basic figuring out already tonight, very impressed. The drum machine side is a bit tacky but it'll be perfect for other casio projects. Intetested to see how I can get this working in a live setting as its digital transitions can be quite abrasive as the parameters default when changing patches so any adjustments in tempo, presents, delay setting etc all get wiped. Clever bit of kit though, chuffed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left Foot Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Ahhh cool Owen. I bet its sounding sweet. BTW - if I had a future impact id try learn the little phatty basslines from this... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc0SO6RHSnU I would, anyway, vids please Theres two of us in a table top noise project and ive just picked up this Adrenalinn and my pal has the boss slicer, very cool bit of gear. Since we use a constamt tone we thought a juxtaposed sequence of 'voicing' helps give a narrative during quieter moments. Its cool all these multi-effect units seem to have made an effort with sequenced effects, but the Zvex has ultimate control over speed and filter patches within the sequence. Maybe they are considered more midi based and 'clik' based effects as individual patches seem hard to jump in and out of in a live setting, unless your playing songs with the same tempo and pattern throughout.

GarethFlatlands Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 The M5 is by my PC but the power supply is elsewhere in the flat. I'll check for you tomorrow and let you know what the controls are and how tweakable it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Foot Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hey Gareth, long time, but any update on this? So, both myself with the Adrenalinn and my mate with the Boss splicer have found that the digital sound and control of these effects make them totally 'naff'. There's no smooth way to transition from patch speeds, wet/dry balance, frequency ratios and even volume etc. Any slight adjustment has an audible difference at that point, be it a click or drop, even if its in the slightest, its still noticeable and only manageable by using other pedals to control the effect of it. Any developments BC has found? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethFlatlands Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) Sorry, I'd completely forgotten about this! The controls are:- Speed (0.10 to 15hz or by note value which can be set by tap tempo) Freq - Selects between the preset patterns. I can't count them but I'd guess at around 32? Maybe completely wrong there. Q control Step number - (2 to 9) And a mix control All have their own knob control for adjustments. If you have an expression pedal, you can go between 2 presets with that. Might be worth reading around as some people have mentioned a clicking which some like and others don't. I assumed it was part of the effect and gave it a nice percussive quality. Edited October 22, 2016 by GarethFlatlands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottle Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Just caught this thread. Are you guys still looking for a solution? Have you maybe looked at a Euro-rack modular solution. There's an awful lot of gear that would probably do what you need to (albeit quite expensive). I was thinking a sequencer (with eight or sixteen steps) could modulate the filter cutoff frequency via a CV input, and gate the output as well giving you controllable portamento between successive steps. Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Foot Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Rhanks gareth, anything youd want to noodle really. If you could just blast a single note through a few sequenced patches and tweek the settings as it goes, I can get an idea if the digitalness and click is something id go for, as it sounds like my Adrenalinn and mates Slicer.

I think the red panda partical pedal did something vaguely close, but im not sure if that would click and judder whilst tweeking the settlings like other digitals ive tried. Ive found that any delay just takes the crispness out of the sequence, and the click go over the top of that with the Adrenalinn. Anyway, thanks for replies guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
