FSH-1 Filter/Sample Hold

FILTER

DESIGNED BY SYNTH PIONEER TOM OBERHEIM The Maestro FSH-1, also known as the Filter Sample/Hold, was an innovative pedal released in the late 1960s. This pedal produced unpredictable filter sweeps and sample/hold effects, making it ideal for experimental and psychedelic guitarists. Its scarcity and unique sound have made it highly sought-after among collectors and sonic explorers. The sample/hold settings allow players to add rhythmic patterns to their playing far beyond the typical vibrato and tremolo. The filter is classic low pass and sounds incredibly smooth. Controls allow you to tweak the rate of the sample/hold as well as the frequency of the filter. This is truly a fantastic pedal. The controls Filter Range: Probably the width of range in which the filter moves. Could also be a fixed width with knob controlling the center frequency (high/low) of that range. Filter/Sample/Hold: Switches the effect to envelope filter or sample/hold. S/H Speed: Controls the speed of the sample/hold effect. The controls consist of knobs for range (depth) and sample/hold speed. A switch that engages either the sample/hold random filter effect or an envelope follower for a unique auto wah sound.
