Not in production, but The Squarewave Parade MoleS20r (Korg MS-20 filter in a pedal with extra gain stage) has HP/BP/LP and is CV and EXP sweepable:

Also not in production, but findable - the Maestro Parametric Filter. You can definitely sweep it with your foot while you're playing:

Stone Deaf FX PDF-1 is basically a Maestro Parametric Filter. Not footsweepable though. Wish it were.

Yeah, the Stone Deaf gets most of the Maestro down, but not quite all of it. The Maestro really is a wonderful thing. Honestly though, that TSP Moles20r is probably my favorite filter. That thing kills. And starve it and it gets meeeeeeeeean.

Yeah, I love those Maestro TFC enclosures. I used to have a MFZ-1, don't really know why I got rid of it.
I would imagine those enclosures would be prohibitively expensive to produce nowadays.

Hahahaha. Yeah for sure. My one gripe about my MPF-1 is that the battery door is busted off. The one weak link in that otherwise bulletproof tank of a pedal.

Yeah, that happened to mine too. Battery was floppin' around.

Yep. Mine has about 3 strands of wire keeping the battery connected. Need to fix that soon... Thing was noisy as hell when I powered it with a 1-Spot unfortunately.

have you tried the Prometheus Deluxe? i WANT to love that pedal so hard. all the lfo and filter shape options are amazing. i just never clicked with the Subdecay filter sound.
Nup, I haven't played the DLX. The filter circuitry is the same in the Proteus and the Prometheus, and as far as I know the DLX is the same as the Prometheus with the exception of the digital controls and wider resonance. Bear in mind that I'm one of those treble stick duders, but I fucking love the Proteus. There are a lot of cool sounds in it, and the step filter is mad. I don't find it screechy, like some auto filters are, and you retain a fair bit of bottom. I've got a newer (2011?) version where you can switch an internal DIP to go from LPF to BPF, so I run it as a BPF and then followed by the Xero LPF. I like in that I can still use the Proteus without feeling like some sort of dick Bootsy impressionist. But yeah, I guess if you don't like the basic sound you're kinda boned. If you haven't tried it in person see if you can, Youtube is just Youtube, ya know?

Ha ha, yes! Kinda lame on my part, but I got into Aphex Twin because in Grandma's Boy when the dude is like "Are you afraid of music?" they play that exact same part. I had to find out what song it was.

working on some stuff. would like to get something out that isn't dirt.
w00p, w00p. I'm excited to see if anything comes to fruition, because you seem to get filters beyond cheesy/wetfart/quackquack.
