Sign in to disble this ad
I have recently become obsessed with envelope filters. I have 5. An old Mxr, a m82 Mxr, groove regulator 2, boss ft-2 dynamic filter, menatone the mail bomb and a baseballs if that one counts ......
Can one ever have enough envelope filters??

A Source Audio BEF (soon to be sold for a pro), an MXR M82, and a Chunk Systems Agent 00Funk Mk. II. They all have very distinct sounds and between the three they cover just about anything I could think of. I wanted to like the 3Leaf Proton but something about only having 2 knobs bothered me, haha. Great sounding pedal though.

So yeah, 3 filter should do it. |

Me, I own the Xero deluxe and the EHX Enigma (the xero+expression having replaced the enigma, probably permamently, in the board). They fit me well enough, I don't feel like I need any others.
Now, fuzzes... that's a much worse problem for me.

| | | | I have a modded EHX Riddle, a Multivox Big Jam Spit Wah, a Jacques Trinity Wah, and a DOD FX25B. You don't even wanna know how many I've tried!
Edit: These filters are "enough" for me, but I'll always want more!

Xerograph Lowpass Filter
The Xerograph is a fat, synth-inspired 4-pole resonant lowpass filter. It offers a wide variety of filter sounds, from monstrous dubby bass, to synthy resonant filter sweeps, and wah. |

Xerograph Deluxe Envelope Filter
The Deluxe Xerograph takes the fat, synthy filter core of the Xerograph and adds powerful and flexible envelope filter capabilities. In addition to the dubby static lowpass sounds and foot-swept resonant filter sweeps of the original Xerograph, the Deluxe Xerograph can create envelope filter sounds from classic auto-wah to modern subtractive synthesis, downward envelopes, and envelope-triggered slow synth sweeps.
