Filters Etc. For Noise and Manipulation

Hey everyone.
I've been experimenting in my noise projects with running cassettes through filters and particularly like the sound of running old cassettes through the aux jack on my Korg Monotron Duo. I'm wondering if there are any other pedals/effects/stomboxes/whatever that might provide options that are in the same spirit as this filter/oscillation box but offer more/different flavours. I don't want every piece to have that same signature filter sound. Thanks!

Can we get some sound clips of that?

The possibilities are endless with effects. Anything would work. Bitcrushers, ring mods, tons of different filters, etc. You've got to be a bit more specific for a sound you are looking for when asking.
If you are looking for low pass, look at the moogs. Cyber Psychic is a good one tio. Gristleizer is a great choice.
And clips, like chank said

i've really been wanting to try one of these:

you will have to be a bit more specific if there's any qualities you're after cos 'filter' is a very vague descriptor.
the line 6 FM4 does some absolutely fucked up things so i would recommend that for anything 'noisy' in spirit.
i bet a cassette through a Mantic Flex would sound stupidly weird, too.

Thanks guys, I guess I don't have a really specific sound, just looking for a wide variety of suggestions. I did some research tonight and looks like maybe a korg monotribe, kaoss pad, or arturia microbrute might be a good option as I can run audio into them an manipulate it with the onboard filters and whatnots as well as having the other standalone capabilities. Might pick up a monotron delay as well.
As for sound samples, I'll try and get something recorded and up on SoundCloud by this weekend. I've been playing this bag of tapes I found that have Disney stories on then (basically books on tape of Tarzan, toy story, lion king, etc) and manipulating them to get parts of the original story along with blips and bleeps and whatnot. I wouldn't really call it noise "music" as there isn't much musical about it. Sound manipulation art would be a more appropriate title. I also like "Aural Punk Literature" haha.

I though about doing this with The Bible read by James Earl Jones.
Kaoss Pad is cool for this and the Moody Sounds Baby Box is rad too.

Everyone buy some of Digi2t's DIY Fuzz Monster clone boards so he can move along to making boards for a wah-housed version of the Frostwave.

Yes^ I have an old 18v version 535q and it is awesome. Great sounding wah pedal, though the bypass is a bit

so running it through a true bypass looper is a must in my opinion.

Try a Maestro Filter / Sample & Hold. They are really resonant and the Sample / Hold mode is really cool for random bleeps. Short sample of my clone in the link with fuzz in front and a short delay after:
