Resotron is an analog filter pedal that brings the sound of 70s keyboard
synthesizers to the world of envelope pedals for guitar, bass, and beyond. The
filter at the heart of the Resotron is based on the SSM2040 chip found in the
legendary Prophet 5 and Octave CAT synthesizers. This 24db/octave, state-
variable filter provides the full gamut of familiar envelope filter sounds with
Up and Down sweeping modes, as well as a Sensitivity control to dial in the
response of the effect based on how hard you play.
In addition to these vintage-correct filter tones, the Resotron incorporates an
analog pitch-tracking system to move the cutoff frequency of the filter up and
down. The pitch-following filter effect found in the Resotron moves around
based on the notes you play instead of how hard you play. The attack time and
rate of filter motion can be adjusted using the Glide knob to dial in how long it
takes for the cutoff to travel between pitches.
PROPHETIC SYNTH TONE.
