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.

FSH-1 Filter/Sample Hold

Das Maestro Agena Envelope Filter Pedal wurde für einfache Bedienung und optimierte dynamische Kontrolle entwickelt. Der Agena bietet zwei unterschiedliche Filterfrequenz-Optionen für ein breites Spektrum an Klangmöglichkeiten. Musikalisch und inspirierend – es liefert garantiert den Funk. Dieses komplett analoge Pedal verfügt über einen zweipositionierten Modus-Kippschalter für erhöhte klangliche Vielseitigkeit. Die LO-Modus-Einstellung fokussiert das Filter auf einen tieferen Frequenzbereich, während die HI-Modus-Einstellung einen höheren Frequenzbereich betont. Das intuitive 3-Knopf-Bedienfeld ermöglicht es, schnell den gewünschten Sense-Wert (Empfindlichkeit und Reaktion auf den Anschlag), die Attack (Geschwindigkeit, mit der sich das Filter öffnet) und die Decay (Länge der Filteröffnung) einzustellen. Der True-Bypass-Fußschalter aktiviert die LED-Leuchten in den Buglen des Maestro-Logos, wenn das Pedal eingeschaltet ist, sodass man stets weiß, wann der Effekt aktiv ist. 

The Maestro Agena Envelope Filter pedal is designed for ease of use and is tailored for optimized dynamic control. The Agena offers two distinct filter frequency options for a wide range of tonal possibilities. Musical and inspiring, it will surely bring on the funk. This all-analog pedal boasts a two-position Mode toggle switch for increased sonic versatility. The LO mode setting focuses the filter in a lower frequency range, while the HI mode emphasizes a higher range of frequencies. The intuitive 3-knob control layout lets users quickly set the desired Sense (the envelope’s sensitivity and response to your picking attack), control the Attack (how fast the filter increases or opens up), and adjust the Decay and how long the filter stays in the open position. The true bypass footswitch triggers the LED lights in the bugles in the Maestro logo when it’s on, so you’ll always know when the effect is active.

Comet Chorus

The Maestro Orbit Phaser is a descendent of the very first phaser pedal ever produced - the legendary Maestro PS-1. This classic effect has been re-engineered and tailored to the needs of today’s players. The Maestro Orbit Phaser is designed to optimize all the character and vibe you expect from an all-analog phaser. Warm and smooth, the Maestro Orbit Phaser offers all the versatility needed to dial in the tastiest of phaser effects. Its two-position Mode switch gives you a choice of 4 or 6-stage phasing. The intuitive 3-knob control layout lets you quickly set the desired Width (the intensity of the phaser effect), Feedback (emphasizing the amount of vocal phase effect), and adjust the Rate (speed) of the phasing effect. The true bypass footswitch triggers the LED lights in the bugles in the Maestro logo when it’s on, so you’ll always know when the effect is active.
