A Couple of Envelope Filter Questions

Can the Spectrum do down sweep right out of the box?

Not directly out of the box, but you could get a down filter set up on one of the 6 patch slots in about the time it would take you to download the desktop editor or device app. There's probably a few good down filter patches from other users on the Neuro as well, but I've uploaded all the patches for the audio samples I posted here.

Search for fivestringgecko under users, and it'll pull up all my posted patches. You can burn patches to whatever corresponding slot on the pedal that you like!

I had an Eden Californiwah which unfortunately stopped working properly after a couple of months.
About 6 weeks ago I bought the EH Enigma Qballs which I am really enjoying though not having much experience with these things it has taken some time to work out the controls and how best to set it up for the sounds that I want. I think whatever you buy take time to learn the controls as there can be so many subtle and not so subtle variants of sound and tone to an envelope filter.

This is probably the biggest point about the Spectrum... It's got 25 different filters in it, so you have a wide variety of sounds in one box. Filters like the MXR, Aguilar, 3Leaf, etc are all great filters, but they're all based on a single filter type. That's not a bad thing because they do their single filters very well. But the Spectrum allows for all sorts of filter types, along with both up and down filters. (audio samples below)



I've got a two Bassballs (Russian and a Nano), and read about the mods for the Nano Bassballs when I got it... I was always curious about having those controls, but never got around to modding before I got the Spectrum and created my own Bassballs patch based on the two Bassballs and an Ashdown Type 23. It's got controls for Drive level and Distortion Mix, but the Mooer's controls are interesting... I might try my Spectrum 'Balls patch with the equivalent Frequency and Q and switch the drive mix to an expression pedal. Hmmmm! Thanks for the post @J_Bass.

Sorry to reply to this old post. Is your Seamoon's Funk filter patch still avaialble on the app? Sounds great!
Also, could you tell me which nobs control your filter twin speed for the two filters?

Thanks!
