[tigerbass]

Yeah, I suppose I could use some help as well!
Current:
EHX Q-tron
Barge Concepts Grinder
Xotic RoboTalk 2
MXR Auto-Q
EHX Bass Balls modded with trim pots on outside.

Past:
Boomstick BottomFeeder
3Leaf Groove Regulator
Moog MF101
EHX Q-Tron+
Maxon AF-9
Pigtronix EP-1
Subdecay Prometheus
The Syle Green Filter

I must say that with the filters I have now, my search is over!

 

[Rip Topaz]

Modded Bassballs here. Number?

 

[Mudfuzz]

This number thing has to stop, it is way beyond silly at this point.

 

[Bassblisters]

My Filters:

DOD FX25 (1993 Two-Knob Version)
3Leaf Audio Groove Regulator (with v2 mod)
Subdecay Prometheus
EHX Enigma Qballs
Alesis Philtre
Korg G-5 (has an envelope follower in it--can do presets!!)

I would like an EHX Bassballs with the external trim pot mod.

Anything else anyone would recommend for getting unique filter sounds?

3Leaf Audio Groove Regulator (with v2 mod)

What's the v2 mod?

(did a search, couldn't find anything)

I've wanted a 3Leaf for quite a while, I'm worried if you tell me I'll just want it more. But tell me anyway. lol

5sg.

I could be wrong (and someone correct me if I am) but I believe Spencer has changed the circuit slightly to add a bit more resonance/wetness and has offered to mod existing models.

Spencer has been working on getting it to sound more vintage Mutron III ish. I haven't been keeping up with him and his mods since getting the Enigma pedal (my current favorite).

This is the correct information.

big day today...moved the bassballs in the chain, sounds better...this thing has got to be good, even the guys in my band love it and they usually hate bass effects.

wow.

BLue is a Modded Bass Balls clone. the second footswitch controls the distortion.

The mxr is a clone / modded mxr envelope filter. Also see Emma Discumbobulator.

Big Black is a Lovetone Meatball Clone. The second footswitch controls up / down sweep.

the first 3 of about 7 or 8 filters I am building.

the 2 bottom are getting more flat primer coats before I do any graphics..IF I do any.

Upper left corner..3 of about 12 Sprague 183P capacitors. For some very cool tube preamp projects.

I have two big box original Q-trons can I play?

 

[jufros]

I have a Robot Factory Photron and WMD Fatman arriving this week...

Here's a link to the Rev 2 modification to the 3 Leaf Groove Regulator.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

The modification was performed on my early (#144 or earlier) unit swapping out the two resistors with military grade 3.3k ohm and 10k ohm resistors. I prefer the "wetter" tone with the Rev 2 modification.

Woo hoo! Make a Mutron clone? That would be cool!!

I owned a vintage Mutron III w/attached power cord....never like the sound of it. I was told that the earlier (battery/adapter operated) models sounded better. So, I then got my III modded by LSound, sounded much better, but not great. Sold it after owning it for 30 years. So, I still need convincing that the Mutron III is the ultimate filter, since I'm enjoying the sound of my Enigma so much. Down to 3 filters on my board:

EBS BassIQ
WMD FatMan
EHX Enigma

 

[chicago_mike]

I would love a gut shot of the enigma.

It's all SMT. Does that matter to you?

I just recently got a Photron and Fatman. The Photron was modified to have a trigger input instead of an effects loop. So, I can have both filters see the same envelope trigger (from my clean). Running these two in parallel is absurd sounding. I'm in love with both filters.
