Here's a quick video of the prototype, the sequencer knobs need some fine tune (i'll be swapping with smaller values since the proper range is in 35% of the sweep of the actual value) and readjust the lfo (to reflect the changes).Also consider i'm not a bass player and it was with a guitar amp, it was a quick tease so i can have a bit of leverage and you dont think it is vaporware (i have like 2 years trying to do a dubstep inspired pedal. i didnt do much with the blend due my amp speaker was rattling and i used the cam mic.
The concept it was a simple pedal with lots of knobs to get the wob/wob, kinda an all in one for those who want some but arent interested in building a rig just to get those tones, so the dubscope is a gated fuzz (gate) + filter (vol, aux and range) + triangle lfo and 4 step sequencer (I, II, III and IV) and blend (adds over the fuzz tone the input signal), there's a bypass switch and tap switch (to tap tempo the rate of the sequencer). You can sorta bypass the modulation of the filter, lowering the range and increasing the aux, for a filtered fuzz tone, for versatility so you can use it on your pedalboard.
Well Adam 4 steps isnt gonna make it, because dubstep is about complexity and craziness, yeah it's true but more steps will be more complex to operate, more time consuming and EXPENSIVE, also bigger case, etc, but if you really need more we could talk, the same applies for more different waveforms.
Yeah but i have killer fuzz tone, yeah this is an introduction, i have plans to design a filter machine with lots of knobs for guys like you (but dont know how soon to be exact) so you can get more complex.
But wait i have also a killer filtered sound, the same applies there are plans for a sequencer machine to cv your filters (or other stuff) dreams (but it is in planning process, ie dont know how soon is now).
I'm still on the fence about adding some options (as custom option for extra price):
-CV sync (sync the sequencer with an external cv pulse, for those who loves to play like robots)
-exp jack for the rate of the lfo (plugging an exp pedal will disable the sequencer and control the rate manually)
-AM option for stutter weirdness (instead of modulate the filter it will cut you signal for stuttering craziness )
-add more steps to the sequencer
-manual scrolling, you step on the tap switch every time you want to move from one step to another
-resonance oscillation for the filter (to be modulated by the sequenced triangle lfo)
-Ultra crazy mode so you can be the king of crazy dubstep
-other
My take: is a fun effect, i dig the wobwob, also lowering the range (30-50%) get some sick detuning fx (i think there's an example on the prototype video) might not be your cup since i think like a guitar player. Really inspired me for a crazy/super idea, design a fade/blender modulate d instead of the wobwob, imagine fading in and out an fx loop to your clean signal with delays, ring mods, octave craziness
i'm not a dubstep expert (i learn it here what it is), so i guess
