Is there anything more joyful than a huge, massively over-engineered effects pedal covered in LEDs, tiny switches and retro synth knobs? The Ultron is a filter, very loosely based on the Mutron III (celebrated at this wonderful site). The signal path is all analog, with digital circuitry to control the analog components (a bit like a modern Moog synth). It has endless features - High, band and low pass filter, an LFO, CV control, multiple LFO waveforms. Delightfully, it has a truly old school DIP switch inside, to tweak various features. The Ultrem is a tremelo, with every bell or whistle you could imagine. They're $425 and $375, with more info here
