A lot of people over at TalkBass have been extolling the HotHand/Bass Envelope filter combination from Source Audio. It's probably the easiest solution.
The reason the Hot Hand has been embraced by so many is that, in dubstep, the "wobble" is in multiples of the basic pulse.
So, any gear which has an internal LFO has to be synched up with that pulse, either by knowing the pulse at the outset (and hoping there won't be timing drift), or by having a click (MIDI or otherwise) and then a switchable multiplier (like the Iron Ether pedal).
The Bass Envelope Filter with the Hot Hand controller just requires someone to wiggle their thumb at the speed they want for the wobble. That's why it's beating down all challengers....
I know it's not readily available (or at all), but I was tired of having scattered around information all over this site, trying to read up on the Bubble Chamber.
Now we have a place!
LFO
-speed knob
-depth knob
-waveform knob:
---sine
---triangle
---square
---ramp up
---ramp down
---hypertriangle
---inverted hypertriangle
---random steps (like the old sample+hold filter sound, robotalk, seek-wah, type stuff)
-multiplier knob: sets the relationship between taps and the speed of the LFO. This lets you tap on the quarter notes and get an LFO that is 4 times faster but still beat locked. Possible settings:
---1/2 time
---double time
---triplets
---double time triplets
---quadruple time
-Wave distortion knob: This lets you contort each waveform in interesting ways, and works differently on each wave. Lets you set duty cycle on the square wave, changes the spacing and "hardness" of each waveform
Filter section:
-cutoff frequency
-resonance
-envelope sensitivity
-envelope up/down sweep switch
-2-pole/4-pole switch
Pitch-tracking LFO: speeds up when you play a high note, slows down on low notes. Pitch-tracking LFO is separate from the main LFO, so you can have both happening simultaneously if you want max madness.
-pitch track knob: sets the base speed, which is then augmented by pitch control.
Expression jacks:
-multiplier: this is where the dubstep happens. This expression control lets you sweep through multipliers, just like the multiplier knob, except when you're doing it with your foot, it lets you change divisions of the beat while you're playing. It's like a speed control, except whether you speed up or slow down you stay locked in tempo. This works whether you set the speed with the speed knob or the tap switch
-cutoff frequency: for slow filter sweeps
-Tap tempo switch
-True bypass switch
All of the controllers can be used simultaneously (main LFO, pitch-tracking LFO, envelope, expression pedal).
Anyone know of some custom pedal companies? I have an idea to pitch
I get some really impressive dubstep sounds with guitar rig.
