Sign in to disble this ad
im trying to figure out which envelope filter i should get. im looking at either the ehx q-tron (micro or regular) or the digitech bass synth wah. ive used the bsw, and i think it sounded way too digital, even for a synth pedal. i like what the q-tron can do and can imagine myself using that in alot of things. any other reccomendations?
also, when i was testing out the digitech bass synth wah, i noticed that the filter would activate when i played a note. but then, if there was any string buzz or whatever, it would reactivate and sound like i played the same not again. totally a song killer to have it sound like you played a note twice. id like something that doesnt do that. for the record, id be using this mainly for stoner metal |

those are good but don't limit yourself.When it comes to recording if you want quality sound go with quality equipment...Try EBS or if you like vintage look into electroharmonix....  |

| | | | the samples i heard of the HAS mutron reissue were damn nice
the DOD FX25 is a monster pedal too
i also REALLY like the filters in the korg AX3000B. the unit alltogether cost less than what id pay for a good envelope filter alone..($200)

i was really planning on getting this pedal somehow from US but i hate digital sounding effects..... the clips sounded kinda not so digital to me. *my moment of doubt*

I would avoid the DOD 440 clones (Boomstick Bottom Feeder, BYOC filter) unless you're after a very subtle effect - it doesn't do all-out quacky funk noises. |

It's not subtle and when I do some filter sweeps for my band's spacey, stoner parts, the bass moves right up to the front of the mix.
You can use the pedal for non-enveloping parts to and use the octave and/or suboctaves for leads and what not.
The square wave can be turned off to just affect your signal going into the BMS or you can slide it up to add dirt to your sound.
Seriously, man, go try this out if you're playing stoner rock...and play with it at home when you're doing extracurriculars that stoner rock musicians do... |
