Klowra Hane Filter effects pedal

General

The Klowra Hane Filter is a digital effects pedal that translates your playing style into dynamic filter movements. From a classic funk wah to deep, synth-like sounds: your playing style determines how the effect responds. The sensitive envelope follower closely mimics the response of classic analogue hardware. Play with vigour and you’ll get broad, pronounced sweeps; a light touch produces more subtle tonal changes. The low end is well preserved, ensuring that even full bass tones retain their foundation. FREQ lets you set the frequency range, whilst RES controls the resonance peak. DRIVE adjusts the input sensitivity and effect intensity without altering the output volume in Envelope mode. This allows you to tailor the response to your instrument.

Three modulation modes, endless sonic possibilities

Use the MODE knob to choose between LFO, Envelope and a combination of both. In LFO mode, the filter modulates at regular intervals, independently of your playing dynamics. Using tap tempo, you can synchronise this modulation to the rhythm of your music. Envelope mode, on the other hand, follows your playing dynamics, with RATE controlling the attack time. Combining both sources creates layered filter movements in which rhythm and touch work together. In addition, envelope-to-rate control provides a modulation speed that increases with a stronger touch. Use the filter switch to select low-pass, band-pass or high-pass. Upward and downward sweeps then give you scope for both a recognisable funk sound and deep, bubbling synth-like effects.

Compact pedal with flexible connectivity

The Hane Filter runs on Klowra’s WildSeed Engine, featuring 32-bit floating-point DSP and 24-bit AD/DA conversion. You can choose between true bypass and buffered bypass, depending on your signal chain. The soft-touch relay switching ensures silent switching. For additional control, you can connect an external TS momentary switch; firmware updates are carried out via USB-C. The compact housing takes up little space on your pedalboard and features illustrations from the Budding Bloom series, inspired by Asian mythical creatures and sacred objects. A 9V DC power supply is required for use; the current draw is 150 mA. A TS adapter cable and documentation are included, so you can take your time to explore the connection and control options.
