Description: CONTROLS —

Drive Switch (Up/Down) — Selects direction of filter sweep.

Range Switch (Hi/Lo) — Emphasizes vowel-like sound in low position and overtones in high position.

Gain Control (0-11) — Functions as both volume control and a filter sensitivity control in boost
mode. In Normal mode the Gain control acts as a filter sensitivity control and has no effect on
the unit’s output volume.

Boost Switch (Normal/Bass boost) — Normal mode disengages internal pre-amp, Boost mode
activates it. Also determines function of Gain control (see above).

Peak Control (0-11) — Determines frequency peak of filter. This control will create a more
dramatic effect when turned clockwise.

Mode Switch (LP, BP, HP, MIX) — Determines what frequency range the filter will sweep in.
Emphasizes lows in Low Pass, midrange in Band Pass, treble in High Pass. Mix mode combines
BP with dry instrument signal.

Bypass Switch (in/out) — Disengages effect.

Pros: THAT sound
Cons: Bulky

What can you say about this product!!!??

Of all the Envelope Filters I have tried on the market (including the amazing Mu-Tron) this one is absolutely fantastic and almost half the price of the Mu-Tron.

For that 70s squelchy sound, whilst still keeping the rich sound of your instrument and not going incredibly thin this is the one for you!

My only complaint is that mine came with an American plug and it is a really bulky item for your gig bag...but the sound is worth it!

Pros: Excellent envelope filter, reasonable price.
Cons: This thing is definitely a pedalboard space hog, annoying 24v wall wart power supply.

This is a great pedal that keeps that Mutron III vibe (IMHO better than the Maxon AF-9). Got rid of it to free up pedalboard space, and because I hated the wall wart.

Pros: Slappy Bootsy Funkgasms, and Cherry Garcia Soloing
Cons: Board Space Hog, stupid 18v Wall Wart

A uber funky filter, for sure. The "Mix Mode" which mixes a bandpass filter w/dry signal is a slappers delight. There are better Envelope filters out there, but for the bang for your buck this one is hard to beat.
