Wild Mouse
The Small Bear Electronics Wild Mouse is a delightfully quirky and captivating band-pass filter pedal that adds a whole new level of character and personality to your guitar tone. Designed by the legendary Steve Daniels and featured in the classic September 1999 issue of Electronics Now magazine, this pedal is a true hidden gem in the world of guitar effects. At its core, the Wild Mouse is a band-pass filter, which means it isolates a specific frequency range and allows it to shine through, while cutting out the low and high ends. But this is no ordinary band-pass filter - it has a mind of its own, with a resonant and almost "vocal" quality that can transform your guitar into a quirky, almost synth-like voice. Crank up the Resonance knob, and the Wild Mouse will start to sing, adding a captivating, almost robotic-sounding filter sweep that dances across the frequency spectrum. Pair it with a clean, crisp guitar tone, and you'll unlock a world of sonic possibilities - from funky, squelchy rhythms to soaring, vocal-like lead lines that will make your guitar truly stand out in the mix. While the Wild Mouse may not be a household name like some of the more mainstream filter pedals, its unique character and charm have made it a secret weapon for in-the-know guitarists who want to add a touch of eccentric magic to their sound. If you're looking to explore the more esoteric side of guitar effects, the Small Bear Electronics Wild Mouse is an absolute must-try.
