Ashdown Envelope Filter?

[-Kiedis-]

Hey guys, I've searched for this filter in TB but i could only find FS or FT threads.

Does anyone have any reviews or soundclips?
The exterior of the stompbox got my eyes on it.

Thanks

It sounds fat. I can do soundclips, although it might not be until tomorrow.

Super! Very solid. Only problem is the smallness of the dot on the knobs...can't see where it is in the dark, but it's not a problem for me because I set and forget. One bonus...the light for the dial is below/inside and it shines into the eye of my guitarist in the practice room. Makes him more creative.
btw. this is my go-to envelope for distorted down octave (MXR Octave Delux into Eletrionix Mess Drive Hybrid). It handles all frequencies and input levels no prob., output has mucho bass freq. Earlier ones were too sensitive, or so I've heard.

Mine either doesn't have a VU Metre light or it has never worked...

I used and loved mine for a couple years until the switch broke; then I had it replaced and used it some more. The key word here is CONTROL. More control over your sound than any other filter I've used. I got rid of it when I started using my MXR, but now wish I had kept it.

Does the light for the dial stay on even when the pedal isn't in use? like bypassed

yes it stays on. though it a true-bypass. another disadvantage, if you have a crowded board, is it size.

Ahh alright, now one more thing... any volume spikse and how's the tracking?

I never actually had a chance to compare it with another filter. i dont have any tracking problems (i use a vintage rickenbacker 4001, and an american precision deluxe fretless). I think that lowering the input volume knob cures any volume spikes, and raising it cure tracking problems. after u do that, u can adjust the output volume with the output knob.

 

[-Kiedis-]

Solid.

 

[mikeswals]

I had one for a while, and could not get it to track worth a darn for anykind of old Flea style finger funk sounds. Just seemed 'peak-y' and trebly to me.
Sorry.

It's a toss up between Micro Q Tron or this.

I got this pedal as a gift and being mostly a rock bassist I have no idea when it comes to this pedal I've been thinking of playing a solo on one of my bands new songs (hard rock band) using this pedal and playing with a pick can anyone give me any suitable settings for this or will this just not work?

 

[-Kiedis-]

well I haven't heard it before, try something subtler or softer that will get your dry tone expressed more than the wet .. Other than that, play something funky
