Envelope Filter in Sleep's Dragonaut?

[PunkRocker33133]

I know there's a lot of us here really into Stoner/Doom, and I just got into Sleep. Can anyone tell me what envelope filter was used on Dragonaut?

i think it was a MuTron III

Any clones for cheapish? I know about the AF-9 and the newish 3Leaf one, but anything cheaper?

You might want to consider the EHX Q-Tron (no the mini or micro, I think those are different circuits). It might not be exactly the same, but it is designed by Mike Beigel, the same guy who designed the Mutron III. And he has claimed that the Q-Tron can do the Mutron, and is actually an improvement on the circuit. I cannot give an opinion on this, as I have not tried a MuTron. But the Q-Tron is a great circuit.

From Mike's website: "If you want the original sound and circuitry of the Mu-Tron III, please buy either a used vintage original Mu-Tron III (not +) or better yet, my new products: The Q-Tron or Q-Tron+ by Electro-Harmonix. You will get a better product and support the original inventor."

One of the best bands of all time. Going to both shows in Brooklyn in 2 weeks....unfortunately it's not a real "reunion" because Chris the drummer won't be there, but I'm still psyched.

Back on topic, a Mutron III is correct

It was indeed a MuTron III.

And I'm also heading to a Sleep reunion show (though mine's in philly).

It was a MuTron 3, oh wait. Thats already been said. Damn.
