Touch wah?

[mr.mow]

Ok, so I have one of those fender b-dec practice amps, playing around with the effects.. The touch wah effect is exactly what I'm looking for..

So in the real world, what pedal do I look for? Preferably in the EHX range (I'm a little OCD like that, as I have 3 EHX pedals I need them all to be.. Don't ask.. Just accept!)

Q-tron

Touch wah is more generally known as an envelope filter. Have a search in this forum - there's a few million threads about them. Here's one:

Best bass envelope filter?

Excellent.. Now I just have to narrow it down!
Doctor q, micro q, q-tron, q-tron plus, bass balls, riddle q, enigma q...

And that's just the EXH stuff. I can vouch for the bassballs, but must admit it's quite unique and probably not for all players. More tweakable when modded to have the internal trimpots available from outside.

When I first read the initial post, I thought OP was looking for the venerable Boss Touch Wah. Tooled around with one for a while. Not very good on bass IMO, because looses a stringload of low-end. Sounds a bit better when looped (LS-2 style), but not by much. Again IMO.
