Pigtronix Resotron Tracking Filter Pedal

Vintage Synth Sounds for Any Instrument
The Pigtronix Resotron is a tracking multimode filter that brings the sound of vintage 1970s analog synthesizers to the modern world of envelope pedals for guitar, bass, keyboard, and beyond. Resotron's pitch-following ability lets the filter automatically adjust relative to the notes you play, just like an old-school analog synth. Up and Down envelope modes are also onboard to perform traditional velocity-sensitive filter movement that responds to your string attack. The first envelope pedal we've seen at Sweetwater that can follow the pitch of the notes you play, the Pigtronix Resotron has attracted the attention of guitarists, bassists, keyboardists, and synth nerds alike.
Resotron's push-button Oscillate function turns the pedal into an analog synthesizer, shorting out the Peak knob, effectively setting it to 100% while simultaneously activating a VCA (Voltage-controlled Amplifier) in the output stage. With the Oscillate function on, the Cutoff knob sets the tuning of the synth effect while the VCA accurately follows the volume of your input signal. The synth sounds created by the Resotron can also be dramatically changed by switching between the LPF (Lowpass), BPF (Bandpass), and HPF (Highpass) modes — each mode having its own distinctive waveform and modulation characteristics when overdriven by the onboard compressor.

Inspired by a rare '70s classic
The Resotron incorporates the pitch-tracking technology from the Pigtronix Mothership 2 pedal to control a 24dB/octave multimode filter in a network of components that mimics the sound and behavior of the celebrated SSM2040 filter chip used in 1970s synthesizers such as the Octave Cat — the main inspiration for the Resotron. In front of that is the compressor from the Philosopher’s Tone pedal. This arrangement gives you a huge-sounding pedal capable of generating highly musical envelope filter effects that can faithfully follow single-note lines played on any instrument in real time. Turning the Peak knob up all the way results in bombastic, out-of-control self-oscillation that can be tamed by the switchable VCA that watches your input signal and correspondingly sets the output level of the synth. Vintage Mutron III–inspired Up and Down modes are also onboard to augment the Resotron's signature pitch-following abilities.
