Step vs. Bandpass Filter w/ Delay

Post by ogguitar »

I'm looking to replicate the sound of a Eventide H3000 in Band Delays mode. I have a Timeline, so I'm wondering how a step filter like the ZCAT or Subdecay Proteus might sound in the effects loop. The Filter Delay on the Timeline doesn't seem able to get the H3000 sound, but I'm still exploring it a bit. I've also found the BuGGFX Daydream Delay, which seems to be at least partially based on the Eventide. It only has 3 bandpass filters that are evenly spaced, and the delays are evenly spaced as well. Maybe the Timeline with a step filter in the loop would be more versatile? I live overseas so buying and selling effects is a bit more difficult and costly than in the States. So I'd prefer just to make one purchase. Any of you fellow weirdos do something similar to what I'm describing? Or have any other thoughts/advice?

Yeah, I listened to justnick's demo of the Daydream yesterday. It sounded pretty nice.

I have no idea about what you wanna do, but it seems like it'd sound interesting. I :love: filters.

I hope someone can give you some good advice. :snax:

Thanks! Outside of using autowah on one song over 8 years ago, I've never been big on filters or phasing. I got turned on to this effect via Billy Corgan (e.g. Soma 2nd verse). To my ears, it sounds like a pitch shift delay or shimmer effect without the mess from adding all the extra frequencies.

Boss PH-3 has a step mode and goes pretty cheap.

Could always get another filter with CV in and get a copilot broadcast (or talk to Adam about combining the gyroscope and broadcast or something). Broadcast would give you tap tempo and several different kinds of LFOs including step and sample and hold.

Cheap filters with exp/CV in? Eh, I am blanking at the moment.
Haha.

I've heard very good things about the Seymour Duncan deju vu delay's effects loop too which could save you some cash.

Another option is the zoom step filter or something on the multistomp. They sound pretty alright plus more stuff. Might be a good starting point.

Thanks for the heads up on these! I can at least try them in a store more easily

The TimeFactor / H9 has a BandDelays algorithm.

Dont know if its the same as what you're after, but I've been wondering myself what a copilot gyroscope would sound like if you'd put it through the loop of a delay pedal...:idk:
