3 Leaf Audio Proton vs Groove Regulator, what's the differences?

#8
A MuTron III sounds like Jerry Garcia or Bootsy. The Meatball is Mike Gordon's sound. Just listen to the videos and decide which tone you prefer. If I was a guitarist I'd choose the Proton, because the MuTron has fantastic sounds for that higher timbre, the Meatball I think works better for bass. But then, I haven't played a MuTron, but the EHX QTron is supposed to be a MuTron clone, but I hated playing with a QTron. Was too limiting in its tone selection. The Proton sounds like there is a lot more tonal range than the QTron. Sounds like you can't go wrong with either one. I love my GR-2, and the tease of the 3Leaf Synth at the end of that video has me salivating for another effect I shouldn't want!

The Proton has an external switch for bandpass or lowpass. The GR2 has an internal switch, the GR does not have the option. I wanted to be able to easily switch from bp to lp, so the Proton was an easy call for me. I just got it recently and have only played around with it for a couple hours, man does it sound great! So far just using the lp.
