Non-Traditional wah, more synth/filter like...what's out there?

So while I love my Dunlop, Teese, Fulltone etc wahs, I am looking for something that's a bit different from the more traditional wah approach. I am looking for something with a VERY wide/thick sweep, almost a chewy/rubbery sound and feel, and hopefully doesn't thin out in the high end.

Several folks have said to check into actual synth or filter units but haven't actually mentioned any specific ones. So I'm just wondering if anyone knows of anything in the synth or filter realm that can be used for a wah. I'm not looking for extra weird sounds like octave, phase, etc, just a super thick wah tone

The Subdecay Noisebox, Moogerfooger filters, EHX Tube Zipper, Qtron and Microsynth should be right up your alley. I love all of those pedals.

Chicago Iron Parachute maybe? It's a recreation of the Tycobrahe Parapedal.

The sound clips there aren't the best, but you can get the idea anyway. There are other clips out there somewhere if you dig around.

Pigtronix Envelope Phaser maybe?

Thanks for the suggestions so far Yeah I've looked into several of these and so far the Parachute wah seems to be close to what I'm going for in terms of a thick wah tone.

I actually have 2 rackmount units right now and I *think* they're based on an SVF design but I'm not sure.
