enevolpe filters?,

[JamesM]

Hi,

i'm thinking of either buying the digitech BassSynth Wah or the Dod fx25b i think, and i'm not sure which to get. I've tried both in the shops, but its hard tell which i prefer without playing in my band/s.

Any opinions on these too pedals would be much appreciated and depending on my next pay cheque i might consider the q-Tron instead lol

well, when i want to clean my regular white 8x4 evelopes, i use high quality filters, but if i need to get the gunk of the big brown padded ones, i need to buy larger filters which get more expensive.

i suggest you tape/staple your mail shut

Enevolpe sounds like a good band name.

ummm, i'm confused with everyones responses.

Q-trons are nice. I sold mine a couple of years ago because I wasn't using it much but now I'm finding that I miss it. I'm looking at the Q-tron plus.

Other filters to look at are the HAZ Lab Mutron III+ and the EBS Bass IQ.

I don't know much about the Digitech Synth Wah but you may find some reviews on it here if you do a search. I tried a DOD once before I purchased the Q-tron. The Q-tron beat it hands down IMHO. It really all depends on what kind of sound you want and the type of music you're doing. I was looking for an old school funk Bootsy Collins era vibe and the Q-tron has that sound down. The Q-tron can also give a synthy vibe as well.

Just be honest with yourself about what you expect out of an envelope filter and you will get the right one for you.

Thanx mate! I will look into that

Another cool one to look at is the Chunk Systems 00Funk MII, it really out strips the Q-tron in both sound and flexibility, it does cost more though. It’s also rather small in size; about a inch around bigger than a DOD. And it is made in Australia.

Lol, no worries. Yea sum how i managed to post the thread without actually saying anything, but i still thought i had edited it b4 people started to respond, so it was my bad :s

 

[JamesM]

Cheers 4 everyones responses, will look into all the pedals recommended

 

[worldfamousandy]

I like my EBS quite a bit. I also use an Akai Deep Impact synth pedal, and it is AWESOME. Unfortunately, Akai dicontinued it a few years ago, and they are now commanding a high price on Ebay.

The Digtech is a good pedal for the price. I use that thing a lot. Pretty versatile. It's not my first envelope filter, I use a EHX Q-tron for that, but I do use it as an alternative sound in different songs.

 

[Doc Labyrinth]

i have the ehx bassballs and bass microsynth, both of which i love. i haven't heard the digitech pedal in action, but from my experience you can't beat that analog sound.

 

[The Lurker]

I have both the Digitech and the DOD. Between the two, i would recommend the Digitech, because it's much more versatile and all-round useful.
