enevolpe filters?,

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi,

i'm thinking of either buying the digitech BassSynth Wah or the Dod fx25b i think, and i'm not sure which to get. I've tried both in the shops, but its hard tell which i prefer without playing in my band/s.

Any opinions on these too pedals would be much appreciated and depending on my next pay cheque i might consider the q-Tron instead lol

well, when i want to clean my regular white 8x4 evelopes, i use high quality filters, but if i need to get the gunk of the big brown padded ones, i need to buy larger filters which get more expensive.

i suggest you tape/staple your mail shut

Enevolpe sounds like a good band name.

Q-trons are nice. I sold mine a couple of years ago because I wasn't using it much but now I'm finding that I miss it. I'm looking at the Q-tron plus.

Other filters to look at are the HAZ Lab Mutron III+ and the EBS Bass IQ.

I don't know much about the Digitech Synth Wah but you may find some reviews on it here if you do a search. I tried a DOD once before I purchased the Q-tron. The Q-tron beat it hands down IMHO. It really all depends on what kind of sound you want and the type of music you're doing. I was looking for an old school funk Bootsy Collins era vibe and the Q-tron has that sound down. The Q-tron can also give a synthy vibe as well.

Just be honest with yourself about what you expect out of an envelope filter and you will get the right one for you.

Another cool one to look at is the Chunk Systems 00Funk MII, it really out strips the Q-tron in both sound and flexibility, it does cost more though. It’s also rather small in size; about a inch around bigger than a DOD. And it is made in Australia.

I like my EBS quite a bit. I also use an Akai Deep Impact synth pedal, and it is AWESOME. Unfortunately, Akai dicontinued it a few years ago, and they are now commanding a high price on Ebay.

The Digtech is a good pedal for the price. I use that thing a lot. Pretty versatile. It's not my first envelope filter, I use a EHX Q-tron for that, but I do use it as an alternative sound in different songs.

i have the ehx bassballs and bass microsynth, both of which i love. i haven't heard the digitech pedal in action, but from my experience you can't beat that analog sound.

I have both the Digitech and the DOD. Between the two, i would recommend the Digitech, because it's much more versatile and all-round useful.
